HB, your mom is right the shower felt so good. I can't wait until I can do it again by myself.

Well my nightmares are back I'm going see if my neurologist can adjust my meds the next time I see her.

Well my wife returned the final application for admission to the Veterans Home. Now it's just waiting to see what happens. I am praying that I can go because it's getting to much for my wife to take care of me. Like I have said it is a Hard decision but it's the Correct decision but it won't be easy. Right now just thinking about it my eyes are filling up .

David1946 · October 26

Good Saturday morning, waiting for sister in law and her husband coming down from N.H. and spend the day. Haven't seen them in several months. Because of my dementia my wife and I don't do much traveling.

Lorita · October 26

David, do you take meds to prevent your nightmares? My neighbors wife has alz and has nightmares, so was wondering if there is medication to help prevent thrm.

Yes I do I don't remember what they are but if you contact your neurologist and they can heip.I hope this helps.

I take 14 pills a day for different things I just can't remember which ones are for what. I have Dementia ,afib,restless legs syndrome, thyroid problems. This why my wife handles my meds.

Mint · October 26

David Im so sorry you are having to struggle with this.

well mom still having pain says it is now on right side also. Different hospitalist today. She feels mom has cellulitis on left as wbc elevated. When i asked her what she thinks about why right is hurting she said she thinks mom is making it up. Im not sure she is right about that. Anyway i was able to get DNR on file and she said she agreed with me that it is totally reasonable.

Caro_Lynne · October 26

Mint, I'm praying for you and your mom. I haven't read all the previous posts, is she in the hospital?

Love to all xo

Iris L. · October 26

I'm up, I awoke at noon. I'm on my third day of medication to reduce contagiousness. I started taking honey last night for coughing, I saw a recommendation on YT, it seems to be working. My taste buds seem to be decreased, my food all tastes bland, and my hearing is muffled. But overall, I am better.

Iris

Lorita · October 26

Thanks, David.. I will tell my neighbor to ask the doctor.

Sandy, had a nap of a little over an hour. Today I carried a 16 lb. Case of dogfood to the back of the house with my right hand, then an eleven pound case. Now my back and lower ribs on the left are really hurting. Found the heating pad and have it on so maybe it will help. What was I thinking, I knew better.

So enjoyed our visit. We will have to talk more often. Wish you weren't so far away. Glad you have a friend closeby.

Mint, so sorry your mother is having so much trouble. Hopefully she will improve soon.

HB, also hope your mother gets better soon.

Iris, glad you tried the honey. I have heard it mixed with a little lemon juice does help with coughing.

Ron, take it easy and be careful. Goodness, seems so many of us are having health problems or our mothers are. It has to get better.

I need to find a good movie to watch tonight and get away from the news for a while.

Lorita, I hope that .you info will help your friend. Like I said my wife handles my pills.

Mint · October 27

Thank you Caro_Lynne. She is in the hospital. She became unable to walk on her left leg, can’t raise it off of bed and having pain. Now today she says her right leg is hurting.

Lorita · October 27

Mint, have they checked for a blood clot? Do hope she is better tomorrow.

ronald71111 · October 27

Morning

Mint · October 27

Good morning

Lorita the test for a clot was negative

Lorita · October 27

Morning, glad it was negative, Hope she is better this morning. I know how worried you must be

Ron, also hope you're better this mornng. Take it easy.

I Had a pretty rough night. Finally could find a position where I didn't hurt so much. My ribs do feel some better this morning. Maybe some day I'll learn to.be more careful.

Mint · October 27

Lorita if I did what you say you do I would be in pain too. I have a dolly i use when moving heavy things if i can.

I’m eating lunch and then I’m going to hospital. The nurse and MRI tech called me a bit ago and they are going to try and do MRI of her brain. I suggested some work arounds as she refused it first time. Asked them to just call it a xray and say it is to try and help her with her pain. Yesterday my sister was in room and they started telling all about her meds and my sister suggested they say for pain. They did and it worked she took all 4 meds. This is how I know she is in pain. She told me later the Tylenol didn’t work. They were putting her on something stronger.

eaglemom · October 27

Good morning……………….

Lorita · October 27

Mint, sounds like you all have figured out what works with your mother. I hope they are able to the MRI done today. Let us know.

I have a dolly and cart I use outside and have used the dolly inside. Also have a couple of wire expandable trays with wheels I normally use to get the dog and cat food inside but yesterday just didn't do it. Didn't seem to bother me when lifting and carrying it but it surely did afterwards. Most of the pain this morning is in my back, probably from the costochondritis.

It's cloudy and dreary here this morning. Don't like days like this.

Eagle, Chiefs this afternoon and Bucs at noon. I watched morning news shows and QVC for a while but didn't order anything.

jfkoc · October 27

here…no plans for the day

thanks for the updates…..

David1946 · October 27

Hello, well it guess my nightmares are getting ugly again. Last night me and my wife were at my timeshare during the winter just walking around and when it came to go home I couldn't find my keys or phone and I paniced and then i jumped out of bed started getting dressed to go out looking for them. (I have wondered before)Then I realized what I was doing and stopped ). That is why I'm hoping when I see my neurologist she can adjust my meds.

Mint Thank you

Lorita · October 27

I'm sure that was frightening, David but at least you realized what was happening in time.

This is my daddy's birthday. He would have,been 117. He has been gone 29 years and I still miss him every day. Always will.

jfkoc · October 27

can't work the sprrinkler system…….

Caro_Lynne · October 27

Lorita, my daddy will be gone 51 years on the 29th of this month. I was 13 when he was killed in a work accident and like you, I miss him every second of my life. I pray he and my LO are together. Today marks one week without my LO 😢💔

Mint, HB, how are your mom's doing?

Love to all xo

David1946 · October 27

https://alzconnected.org/discussion/comment/226762#Comment_226762

Yes it was frightening I'm just afraid that maybe the next time I will really wonder. That is why I hope that I get accepted to the Veteran's Home so my wife will not have to worry about me.

jfkoc · October 27

David you can easily put an inexpensive alarm on your exterior doors.

David1946 · October 27

https://alzconnected.org/discussion/comment/226770#Comment_226770

Thank you, We did that and hopefully it will never go off.

Iris L. · October 27

Lorita, use your dolly and cart! What are you saving them for? You don't need to be in pain.

I spent all might coughing and didn't fall asleep until 6 am to 1 pm. Now that I'm awake, I'm not coughing.

Iris

Mint · October 28

We got MRI of brain done today. There was no new stroke.
Iris when I get a cough at night that wont quit I usually head to recliner. That usually works for me.

Good Night

Lorita · October 28

Mint, glad there was no new stroke. Hope she continues to improve.

Iris, have you tried Mucinex for the phlegm?. Might help your cough, too. I remember when I was little and couldn't quit coughing, mother would have me take a little salt and it helped.

Just need to talk to my friends (200)
