Find Care & Housing
Dees, I am so sorry for your loss. My mom passed when I was in the next room after I had been with her for 12 hours straight, so we just can't control when our loved one passes. Your mom sounds like a wonderful woman and I'm sure she was so grateful for your loving care. {{{Hugs}}}

You were close to your Mum, that is what you need to remember. She may not even have known if you had actually held her hand. The same thing happened to me - Mum was unconscious and I was dozing on a trundle just outside her door. I know that I was there with her, and so were you. Send her the lilacs in your thoughts. Lots of love, Margaret

UTI. Wife was prone. In fact kept a low grade for several years, even in her better times. No antibiotics worked. Ciproflaxin administered via IV cured instantly. Good hygiene has prevented reoccurrence since 2014. Had one caused by catheter catch during an ER visit in 2015, but again totally cured instantly with Cipro IV.
She never wears any undies. Sleeps and sits on washable underpad covered with cotton sheet. Never polyester. Complete shower rinse after toilet. No wiping/smearing, ever.
For dementia they tried lorazapam and all the other common Alzheimer's meds. None worked as expected and something stooped her over. She has not stood erect since.
Canna edibles have been our relief as it is hers. We have many hours of laughter every day.
I had an attack of pancreatitis 3 month ago. Never been sick in 66 years. They gave me opioids. Hated it. Left me too weak to care for myself. At home, in recovery, I tried wife's canna. I have not been able to eat solids, at all and liquids hurt sometimes.
It seems to be similar to Achalasia in that, when I drink water, it seems to stop before it enters the stomach. It gurgles when I belch. I have to wait a while to take another drink.
I have never been an imbiber of anything, but I just tried one of my wife's canna cookies and the relief is incredible. Now I see why it workes for her dementia and unknow body discomforts.
Is your state medical canna friendly?

I'm not sure about canna. Hope it helps you. My Mom passed on Tuesday. Thank you for your suggestion. Blessings to you and yours.
