Happy Hippie House Party. “Make New Real Friends.”

What Ranger says may sound silly to some people. However, one of the major uses of medical marijuana is for loss of appetite and chemotherapy.

Just some references to check out. Under a chemotherapy look up. Not MM.

A list to look at.

alzheimer's of course is a whole different thing.

I'm sure that you've looked up things already.

Lots of Love.

 

Hi, Still. I had a similar problem with my mother. She would not/could not eat for a variety of reasons.

Maybe you can try a nutrition drink. We have "Ensure" here in the states. My mother lived a long time on those, though she did eventually have to have a feeding tube placed. Be careful with this. Mother's feeding tube was placed too late and she passed away from malnutrition.

Hoping you can get some nutrition in her and big hugs to you! :love:

 

Thanks Kenny really really appriciate it!! And on the note of her dad....he knows but hasnt bothered a visit even though he lives just a thirty second walk from the hospital we are in and parents are free to visit any hour and not just during visiting hours...he didn't tell his mum either and I didnt because I assumed he would once I told him, but no, she found out because he wrote it on his facebook page that 'he wishes he was with his daughter in hospital'... So he's just playing the sympathy card but not actually putting in any effort!

Oh no Stillcrazy! I really hope that she starts to eat soon or that someone can help!

 

in the dawning of the day..we see OURSELVES...
all of it...is a concept..how our life evolves..let it be positive..

The weather has turned so nice here. :sunny:

I'm going to put on my most comfortable old jeans and go have coffee on the porch before the grandkids get home in an hour.

:coffee:

 

Hi folks.I just need to share this with you,my online friends,as I would appreciate any support.I have been drinking quite heavily since a major relationship in my life came to an end some months ago.I am talking about my on/off girlfriend of some 15 years standing...Well we were very good friends...Had lots of laughs and were two beings who really tried to understand each other...But things were getting unworkable and it was she who finally called it a day on our relationship.I miss her a lot and she won't talk to me...I feel quite bereft...Thus the heavy drinking.But I've decided things have to change and and I've got to pull myself out of this slump...This includes DAYTIME DRINKING,which is ultimately very depressing.I do not consider myself to be an alcoholic,so I will be not be quitting drinking completely,but rather limiting myself to a few cans of beer at the weekend.It's not going to be easy but I really am going to try.Thanks if you have read this.

 

Fairlight, you've got me in your corner! I'll tell you what an alcohol counselor told my son:

"Quitting drinking is simple, but it isn't easy."


I'm here if you want to talk about it. :grouphug:

 

The thing is Aerianne,I don't want to stop drinking completely,although this may be my way of avoiding the issue of "Am I an alcoholic".I would class myself as a heavy drinker.I want to see if I can manage to moderate my alcohol consumption to a safer level.Even when I drink,and even when this is daily,I don't get "drunk" as such,I just think that it is depressing to drink in the daytime and over time I might be damaging my liver etc.Thank you anyway for your response.

 

Devastated. All the progress shes made is now back to square one. Back on the drip tonight because shes refusing anything and everything, temps are up again and they said by tomorrow if she still wont eat or drink then shes got to be fed through a tube in her nose I'm sorry for all this posting but I'm just so upset, why won't my baby girl get better?!? Im currently sat outside in tears because the stress is just getting to me and i don't think i can handle it

 

Thanks for that Kenny :love:.

We don't have medical marijuana over here, but I've bookmarked the link on Altzheimers and will show it to Bob the Bastard (hubby) when he gets home. I did mention the Cannabis Cure earlier on today, but he just laughed.

I've tried her with soup tonight but she wouldn't take it. Tomorrow I'll try ice cream (her favourite food), but if she still won't eat, I think we need to start thinking about hospital. I don't think it will help her mental health though.

 

Thanks Aeri, I will definately see if I can find some kind of nutrition drink tomorrow. I need to find something that isn't milky, because she won't take those, but I will see if I can find something fruity.

 

Oh Mama, please be strong! I do understand, many years ago my baby boy went through something similar, but he did get better and is now a strong young man. I'm sure the nurses are doing everything they can for her.:love:

 

I got drunk once for three/four years.

One thing that helped me besides moving from Texas to San Francisco where when you went to visit it was 'here's the dope tray, roll one' instead of 'have a drink'. The other was developing a taste for expencive drink. When I do dfink now a few times a year it's stout or porter.

 

Stillcrazy,

It's just a thought. How about trying child psychology on an Alzheimer's patient? Sounds weird but have you tried reverse psychology. i.e. No, you can't.

She sits with you two while you eat and she don't have a plate. Or if she eats in bed. You two eat at her bedside and there is nothing offered to her. Just a thought. Too much of that could cause anyone to want to eat food. Ask Bob what he thinks. Conspiracy.

Those links do look good. My heart's with you guys.

 

Thanks Kenny! At this point we are willing to try anything. We will have another go tomorrow with nutrition drinks and ice cream and also seek more professional advice, although Bob the Bastard is actually a psychiatric nurse.

I suppose at some point we may have to face the fact that we have to respect her decision and just make sure she is comfortable and content.

And welcome home, Kenny!

 

Mama, how awful. She's got to pull it together. Take a deep breath for you and center you. Hold on Fast. I know that this is testing you, but you are a wildcat. Go solid Mama on it all! You own it.

And try to get some rest and recoup your strength. All will work out. God says so.

All Love surround you.

Kids bounce back. :sunny:

 

Thanks, Stillcrazy. Missed you.

 

Man, My brother. We all do what we have to do. Flow with your own instinct. Whatever your needs, to get through in all.

You will get through it. Eventually.

Losing a True Love is like death, only worse. Agony is no fun at all. There is nothing that anyone can say or do. It's all in you. And your Love inside you. I can hug and hold you forever, but nothing truly eases the pain. Agony and heartbreak. It's real. Nothing helps. Rational thought, maybe. But pain is pain.

I would suggest blind drunk if it would help to ease the pain, but it probably doesn't.

Only Time.

I'm with you. Drink or no drink.

 

old tiger,

Thanks for the song, Brother. It made my soul smile. Thanks!

 

So happy your back Kenny :love:
I'm holding on in there, being strong for my baby girl, she's made a little friend who is the same age, when they are both up and running around together causing mischief it makes me smile. They are the only babies on the ward as the other kids are older, and babies gotta stick together! Before she took a turn they were waddling next to each other holding hands and shouting jibberish at everyone!! My little girls an angel, she's just been through it all these past few days and I can see how its affecting her, she flinches at every hand that goes near her because of all the needles and being pinned down shes had to endure these past few days...but, hopefully the drip will restore her lack of fluids and in the morning she will eat and drink properly!
