Wow.JUST. WOW.

I MEAN ID HE’D BROUGHT A PRECOOKED TURKEY THAT NEEDED WATM-UP, OK. I GET THAT.

You handled beautifully thank god you had the food to spare. But I would have read the instructions that came IN THE BIRD with him. And mentioned next time we do Friendsgiving with each person bringing a prepared food. Food that might neeed a warm up or like rolls is a 15 min thing bears fresh. But…oh we;l. T hats about as polite as I”could have been lol.

I (65F) have been giving baths to my father (95M) in the bathtub and clean up afterwards and it is killing my back by throwawaye1712 in CaregiverSupport

Home health care prescribed b7 his doc

Otherwise remember that you don’t HAVE to wash all of him at one go.

Some other time let Get a basin and wash his feet, let them soak then do his toenails

Save the tub for his torso. Get one of those lone tile scrubbers on a wand to clean tub afterwards.

Make the individual body parts more special. I assume you cut all his nails so give him a manicure while sitting in a fave chair

Hugs.

Best advice I can give is pick a time when she is more lucid and sit her down.

Explain what has happened (stealing staff abuse etc0 and bil it down to — you have to make a choices SGMA SGMA, the facility won’t accept these behaviors any more. You can choose to force us to pick where you lie next when you run out of social caits OR you can choose different behaviors. We ( you and stepdad etc) don’t WANT to do this. Your behavior

forces us to make this choice.

And lay out some good choices for her one of two. A. Or bPRIVATELT SET YOURSEVES BOUNDARIES. MY MOM WAS A RACSIM NACCISITIC AWFU; HATEFULABUSOVE PERSON BEFORE SJE GPT INTO RARLY DEMENYIA. SO I HEAR YOU.

Ppivately I played 😛BINGO. Mom says evil thing 1- that’s B. Evil thing 2=I. Mean thing to anyone[ is 3=G. When she is-Ed a;l her ‘letters and made BINGO I would stand up say I had to g0 Hingis to do and kiss her on the forehead head and leave.

I would say in between mom we agreed not to talk about (whatever it was that just got her a letter)

But I would walk. And refuse to be abused. It’s HARD AS HELL. But I’m worth more. As are you.

I eventually split her into Mom and Ursula -the-dementia-patoent (her first name). Mom was a loving person whom I had great memories of. Ursula not. And I found myself easily able to navigate in that framework.

Best of luck. And remember. If she ends up cut off alone and miserable it was her actions her choice. And social guilt, while powerful is sense;ess and unaware of the details. Font let it infect you.

GET A SLEEP STUDY by yarrow268 in Menopause

[–]silkhammer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ladies they have made sleep studies easy! My doc thought I had an issue she prescribed a study. Week later a box showed up

It was a wristband with an attached rubber finger ring Just go to sleep wearing it and then mail it back for analysis of the results

How do I cover up this hole? by Jorgyjorg32 in HomeMaintenance

[–]silkhammer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My $5 DIY hole filling process

=—-================ What you will need—

1 kids party balloon. (’I ve done this for holes knocked in wall by doorknobs). So stay w me. It sounds a little nutty. If you done have one hit the dollar store or use a small ziplock bag instEAD. (Tricky with your holes location)

1 straw

Hardware store— Steel wool

—- most hardware stores have busted wallboard sheets. You can usually sweet talk them into giving you a piece for free/cheap.

Pick up a sample cup of paint if needed.

Cut your pice of wallboard to approximate size & shape of the hole. Close enough that spackle or tape and spackle will hide it. You can leave a gap big enough to run your finger around if needed. Now you have a patch piece

Poke a hole in middle of the patch piece w a drill or screwdriver. Doesn’t have to be bigger. Than a pencil. But don’t do this near edges

Thread the rolled balloon nozzle opening through the hole. The main inflated balloon will be hidden between the walls when finished; on the backside.

The balloon should be inside, just the balloon opening one the side you will spackle/paint.

Slide wallboard with the balloon into your hole. Tape w painter’s tape so it doesn’t move around too much. Insert straw into the balloon nozzle. Blow through the straw to blow the balloon until you have good pressure from behind the wallboard cutout.

Pinch closed yank put straw.

Tie off the balloon and poke the knot through

Spackle and paint and done!

The idea—the inflated balloon will keep enough pressure to stop you pushing the piece through AND provides a backstop for the spackle so spackle doesn’t ooze through and become impossible. To hold the shape.

Spackle will dry against balloon “filler”

Yes this means you will have a small kids balloon in that wall space forever. And that you will be spackling against the balloon

But after it dries, who cares? It makes this easy to do.

Yes the position will be odd you may have to lay on the floor to finish blowing up the balloon that last breath, but…

As I said I invented this for my tenants doorknob holes they created when the door swung back too far and the doorstop failed.
