Sippy cup
DW shares her hot chocolate with dog so I got her a new cup. Showed her how to use it but she closes opening when taking a drink. I'll crazy glue it open. I did ask my daughter-in-law if she would come in twice a week for a half a day so I can get a break. Start that when snow finally leaves. She already helps out when I go out of town. I've been reading a lot of the topics and they sure help, I'm not alone in this caretaker stuff. Thanks All Hoot619

Hi Hoot - welcome to 'here'. yes, very helpful place to be. some very wise folks and sound advice. and 'not alone' is good.
Sounds like a good plan with the cup. Got MIL a screw-on lid cup with the straw, that works for us... for now, anyway. (interesting, at dinner table she can use a regular glass. in the living room, not so much) Glad you have a bit of help.

Welcome Hoot…
But wish none of us had to be here.

I will remove the slide thing probably easier that way any way . She is in a good mood right now. Doesn't last too long. I wish she could handle her body functions but years ago I worked in a mental hospital hospital. It's a lot easier without the hangovers now. Ha ha

New cup is working fine but saw her tongue out when trying to take a drink this morning. She figured it by herself. she isn't in a very good mood today.0
