Mom will allow some day help, but she doesn’t like strangers in her home. She’s too busy watching them to have any peace.

That was my mom too, we had several through an agency and then she met 2 she really liked. We approached them both about coming to work directly for us. One of them had just accepted a position with another family and the other agreed.
They are both still friendly with my mom and she gets together with them all the time now for lunches and visits.
George I watched my Dad and his mom both slowly disappear from Alzheimer’s...
I am terrified that I may have inherited the gene.
Given my druthers I would choose to get cancer again and let my body fail me rather than to lose my mind
A wonderful remembrance of Shelley Morrison in the notes.

I can understand that. My sister accused me of not caring about my father because I didn't want her doing certain medical tests or treatments on him. I felt they were not worth the price as each time his dementia got worse.

A sucess story.. Everyone should be that pleased.
My aunt had 2 shifts a people. She moved to a smaller bedroom and left the caregivers in the larger bedroom with my uncle. Yes it was difficult to have people there all of the time but the caregivers were great. My aunt's only complaint was it was hard thinking about what to feed everyone.

My sister and I agreed late in our Mom's life not to put her through the complete cardiac work-up her doctor recommended. We'd both had the tests and they're more uncomfortable than the people administering them realize. Also, I was afraid they would result in her being put on meds that would require giving up her nightly "dose" of Scotch. We agreed that at 97 with a pretty lousy quality of life, having your heart kill you wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing.

With our upstairs now empty, I (half) joke that that's where we'll put our caregiver when he/she moves in...
I am home from a very painful therapy session and a trip to my pharmacy. I have the meds for my upcoming colonoscopy as well as a new pain med, Gabapentin. We're hoping it will be better than the Tramadol.
DR John G, you and your Mom and sister are in my thoughts and prayers.

As far as I know, no one in my family has had cancer, but I agree...I'd rather get something like that than to have my mind disappear. :-\
Back from a bacon and cheese omelet and a bagel and picking up package - the motherlode of DGA screeners today - Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, and Little Women.
So, my sister Linda called the home that Dad is in. Alarms are going off in the background and a voice says she can’t help with anything because they are having a fire emergency.
Oy.

Our air quality is not very good at the moment.
"..AIR STAGNATION ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 PM PST FRIDAY FOR AREAS BELOW 1500 FEET"
I have no further details but all is okay at the senior home. Dad enjoyed bingo today.

Cough. Gag. Sorry.
Stay home tomorrow if you don't feel better.
I have a gluten-free peanut butter-chocolate chip cookie. Just five ingredients. I really don't know if/when they're done. But I cooked them for the longer time and they're still rather fragile.
But the one I had tasted good.
Sad for a last episode.
Vibes for a smooth preview, ChasSmith. Hope BK's is going well, too.
Is George to I’ll to post?
Nick is spending the night at the hospital.
