Off Topic: Mother In Law

[Southieinnc]

I love the fresh smell of burning kitchen in the morning!

I got up today and yelled out into the kitchen at mother in law, is something on fire?
She responded with, "Oh, I burned my muffin, that's the way I like it!
I have asthma. Now my lungs are f'd up!

Maybe... she wanted you to check on her "muffin"? She's 89. When's the last time she's had some "male companionship"? You've got yourself a Penthouse Forum Story right there buddy.

My Dad fell and broke his neck, C1, 2 and 3 were all broken. He never really recovered from that and spent the last 3 years of his life in a home. And it was tough with COVID restrictions to get in to see him. Had my mom not been taken by cancer 4 years ago, he might have been able to be at home for some of his last years but there was no way we could do anything but inter him in the end.

My in-laws, both 93 this year, on the other hand are both still in their own home. And only because my wife and her 2 sisters spend inordinate amounts of time "doing" for them. And they expect the girls to do this. Demand almost. They refuse to go into a facility.

Both my in-laws are immigrants from Europe (Norway and Holland). They left their parents over there when they moved here. They never had to look after their parents at all. But it is expected that their daughters care for them.

My son has issues (epilepsy and CP), my daughter lives in Vancouver.

There is going to be nobody giving us the support my in-laws get from their daughters. I tell them this and they just stare at me like I'm not making any sense.

Is that @cheerupcharlie 's definition of "doing"?

Doubt it, not that I have any idea what that might be.

Your cats will care for you, but don't give them the Secret of the Can Opener or you'll be expendable, too.

There are different levels of nursing homes. I'm assuming you mean the assisted living facilities won't take her, and without a tterminal diagnosis hospice won't take her. But there is a middle ground between those 2. I don't know what they call it, I only know the names of specific facilities in my area, but we see their patients all the time.

 

[Edonidd]

Now that i think about it, I think the actual term you're looking tor would be a skilled nursing facility.



I know there's some places with specific "memory care" units or floors. This is mostly more for advanced alzeheimer patients who are more than a little altered. But those places would obviously be equipped to deal with light dementia.

Remember when we were young we thought that old women were "nice old ladies?"

 

[Southieinnc]

I walked into the living room this morning and said to mother in law, "I think we have rats in the kitchen"
She was shocked. When I told her I could hear them rustling around in the kitchen all night,
She said, "that was me" (which I knew)
It was a passive agressive way for me to tell her she is ruining my sleep.
She said she thought the doctor broke off a needle in her ass! Absolute bullshit.
She eats all night because she is bored. Naps in her chair during the day.
She has congestive heart failure and recently got out of the hospital.
Doctor told her to avoid junk food, packed prepared food and strict low-salt diet.
Her breakfast this morning? sausage biscuits and gravy and fried eggs.
Maybe she'll solve this problem herself?

No.

But I remember when I was 8 and I though Cher, Barbara Eden and Angie Dickenson were hot as hell.

Maybe help her cook breakfast?

Add a little extra potassium to everything she eats...

Her latest thing?
She has been leaving all the lights on during the day, (bathroom, bedroom, etc.)
She turns the lights in "her" batroom off at night and tries to walk in the dark. She had been instructed to leave the bathroom light on at night since she is near blind.
Had to get up at 4:30 AM to pick her up off the floor in front of the bathroom......

Potassium...it's good for the eyes.

Especially night vision. So give extra with dinner.

A single iodine crystal would also fix her fungal infection.....

Rewire the switch so it's bypassed and the light remains on. Switch to LEDs so it doesn't use much power.

Great idea.
