sending you with all the love, warmest of hugs and positivity.
How do I make her listen though? You know how stubborn she is. I suppose I could just throw the capsules away and see if she feels better in the week it takes her to order more.She should stop taking them. Being stopped up causes back and stomach pain. Not to mention very uncomfortable. Normal emptying of the plumbing should be at minumum once every 24 to 48 hours
My surgery was August 27th.how many weeks has it been since your surgery?
No, but remember he got injured by Demi on his wrist/arm. I don't know if he can vacuum yet, but maybe.Does Rockhead get mad if you ask him for help with lifting/vacuuming?
Thank you so much!sending you with all the love, warmest of hugs and positivity.
I'm terrified of the coyotes and coydogs on those trails though. I'm sure there are bears in there too. It's the state forest. But the coyotes could probably easily get me walking down the road too. They don't cull them anymore, so there are so many now. I am really a city girl stuck in the country.maybe you and rockhead can take a stroll on those trails you know who talked about a year ago
We have a Shark vacuum. The purple one. One website said 12.5 pounds. So definitely over 10 pounds then.I'm pretty sure my little dyson weighs less than 10lbs
Yes, you are definitely a SURVIVOR!
Remember that. Never give up. You a on your way to a healthy, happy life.
Two hours, maybe, if you have a lot of prep work. But most veggie soups cook in about 30 to 40 minutes. And you don't have to stand over the stove watching it cook!She said that it will take 2 hours to make a soup and that is way too much activity for me.
No. Definitely not healthy.We can't only eat processed foods, that is not healthy.
Hmmm... Dementia is so hard to recognize. Especially at first. It's later when you look back and realize the signs were there much earlier than you realized.My mom informed me that she is NEVER vacuuming again because she's too old. Does this sound like Dementia?
Thanks for the soup recipes.But most veggie soups cook in about 30 to 40 minutes. And you don't have to stand over the stove watching it cook!
I just asked her if she had her B-12 checked and she said she couldn't remember. So that's something to look at, thank you.she should get her B-12 checked. A B-12 deficiency can cause confusion and dementia like symptoms.
Dad is called Rockhead because he always does things the exact same way every time, but expects a different outcome. It's also because he makes rock hard homemade bread and refuses to listen to any tips from anyone. He just keeps making the bread the exact same way, hoping it will improve, but it's always hard as a brick!Now, I just have to ask ... why is your dad nicknamed "Rockhead"?
Never Surrender is the same thing. I got it. Thanks for the song.Now that I've posted it, I realize "never give up" isn't actually in the lyrics.
We have a crockpot and a pressure cooker. We have a lot of things just collecting dust that she never uses.slow cooker
I'm not sure what is going on with her either. It seems if she can push a cart all day at the grocery store, she could push a vacuum cleaner. My dad can probably do it with his opposite arm, the one that wasn't injured. But he has been driving, doing yard work, feeding the cats and scooping the litterboxes, so his arm/wrist must be improving.Not sure how your mom is thinking about this, but living in an environment that isn't cleaned regularly is asking for possible trouble. I'm not sure what is going on with her,
Yeah, he doesn't mind his nickname Rockhead. He laughs about it. But he still doesn't take any advice from anyone.Laughing about your dad making the bread! That must be a treasured family recipe
It depends on the vaccuum. Some are very light, some are monstrosities that weigh 25 LB like the one my parents had, then gave to me because my mom couldn't handle it anymore.Do you think a vacuum weighs 10 pounds? I want to vacuum, but I can't lift anything over 10 pounds because of my surgery. My mom informed me that she is NEVER vacuuming again because she's too old. Does this sound like Dementia? How do you own a house but never vacuum it? It makes no sense. She can go shopping all day, but not vacuum?
If you can find something that looks like them that's beneficial, like a multivitamin, you could replace them. Not an idea long term solution because she'll probably find out eventually, but maybe by then she'll realize they were a problem and not a solution.How do I make her listen though? You know how stubborn she is. I suppose I could just throw the capsules away and see if she feels better in the week it takes her to order more.
Ooh, is it an electric pressure cooker? If so, that's an Instant Pot (even if not Instant Pot brand), and if you look up Instant Pot recipes you can find all kinds of awesome things to make, and it's so fast and easy. If you want to make soup the Instant Pot will make the process a lot faster.We have a crockpot and a pressure cooker.
Not if you use an electric pressure cooker .It's 2 hours if you boil a whole chicken and stuff.
Ooh yeah I have heard great things about the instant pot! Can you still scoop out scum that would normally float using those? And how do you deal with veggies so they don’t get too soggy? Or is that not a problem?Not if you use an electric pressure cooker .
Yes, it's electric. The brand is Fagor. It has several cool sounding buttons on the front.Ooh, is it an electric pressure cooker?
Activated Charcoal Capsules. It made my stool so hard and black that my doctor thought I had a cancerous mass and was going to operate, until I told him she was slipping me these pills. Here's the link to them. It even has a warning on them not to use after gastrointestinal blockage. She had no business giving them to me.What kind of stool hardeners does your mom take?
I don't know too much; I've only just gotten started using my pressure cooker after ignoring the poor thing for too long, lol. But there are a lot of very dedicated Instant Pot recipe-makers out there, who have experimented with every possible outcome, so generally if you follow the recipes it turns out pretty good.Ooh yeah I have heard great things about the instant pot!
