Sara, is that car crash the kind that side air bags were built for?
Jesse, is your dad ok?
Happy Saturday all. We are going to see Catching Fire tonight.
Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, he's all right, thanks.

The good news is that apparently there is a lot research and whatnot on anti-seizure drugs and Alzheimer's -- the one they gave him at a hospital apparently did some good for dementia in mice in some study. And some other ones are given to smooth out moods. So at least there's not massive contraindications there. That's something! (I know someone whose father's dementia is so atypical they can't treat it at all, because the drugs for one thing it could be would exacerbate the other thing it could be, and vice versa. Ugh!)

I think they probably helped some- her boyfriend definitely. For her they probably prevented lacerations and stuff, but the force was such, hard to say. She did get burns from some of them, though she can't figure out which ones

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Anti-seizure drugs seem very multipurpose. They are used for nerve pain, and I think they are also used to treat bipolar disorder in some cases. Not surprised they also help with dementia.

Also migraines, IIRC.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do wish people would stop with the "injecting yourself with poison" line. Don't give even the remotest bits of support to people who think no amount of biological agent can be injected non-harmfully (or even beneficially), and too many people think botox has no point whatsoever.
Also there need to be more "typically" aging women saying "Look at me! I'm 54 and I have no aging anxiety!" Even ones that started out drop dead gorgeous. Coming from her it's kinda empty. Michael Jordan can also reach the food on the top shelf, what does that do for Linda Hunt?
That being said, she's cool.
