KT do those boilerplate docs customize according to a given state’s laws? Just something to consider for bammer


You're 100% right, they do. I didn't think of that. Well, I can help anyone in PA anyway

Yesterday, Papa Wease sent me a text. “From Uncle”. That’s all it said. So I replied with”??” And he sends me, “I don’t know, you’ll have to call him.” And I’m like you never sent anything. All you said was From Uncle. His response, “I don’t know, you’ll have to call him.”

Sometimes I really wish he didn’t have a cell phone at all.

My stepdad with Parkinson’s just sends jibberish. /:

My mom is totally burned out not coping well with my stepdad’s advancing Parkinson’s, to the point where she just orders him around and gets on him about stuff that he can’t help, like being forgetful. I’m going to try to talk to her about therapy and/or medication today as a starting point, because I think she’s totally depressed and overwhelmed at this point.

I can’t imagine being 70 or 80 or whatever and having to take care of another 70 year old whose brain is fading away. Damn.

They had it for awhile over a year ago, but decided they didn’t need it anymore. It was initiated after it became apparent that my stepdad couldn’t organize all his meds properly, and my mom was having a hard time fixing them.

Part of today’s convo may include an independent or assisted living discussion. Yesterday, I urged my mom to sign up for Pill Pack, where his med doses would be put into individual packs and mailed to them. Simplifies that process at least, and helps to prevent him missing a crucial med, as he declines really quickly when not dosing correctly.

My stepdad’s basically said he doesn’t want to live with her anymore because she’s just pissed off all the time. It’s not good.

This all went pretty well. We’ll see if it helps.

You didn't ask for help, but things that helped my dad were joining a dementia caregivers support group, or she can look into Visiting Angels to get some respite each week. That'll let her go out and run errands or just have a cup of coffee with friends.

Those are things that helped my dad keep mom at home for a longer time.

Thanks, B. So is it like spot home health care when you need a night out?
