'Our Mrs. Reynolds'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
That sounds like a really good outcome. Love to all of you.
IJWTS if the only things left for sale on the Perfect for Passover table are marshmallows, candy, and gluten-free matzo-like squares, it's pretty much inevitable that I will have a bowl of marshmallows and chocolate-covered raspberry rings for dinner.
Steph, that ALF sounds much like where Dad was, and it worked pretty well for him. I admit that a lot of the activities are, well, kind of simple. But they are activities, and if he's not trapped in the memory care section with mostly people who can't communicate, he may settle in okay.
Good luck.
Damn, this tribute to Carrie Fisher. Ouch.

Yeah, that's ouchie.
We accidentally bought the GF faux-matzo this year (because midnight shopping the night before ALWAYS works so well) and it turns out that it's way tastier than real matzo!
Huh. I did not get any because I still had two boxes out of the case I bought last year, but maybe I will try some next time I see it.
I just don't want to.
I was kind of shuddering at the thought of gluten-free matzoh, but then I remembered rice crackers, which are delicious. What are they like?
That all sounds promising, Steph. And remember you can basically go forever on "you'll be here until X, and then we'll see how you're doing." Or even better (depending on if this is compelling), "and then THE DOCTOR will see how you're doing."
I hope your FiL takes to the assisted living. I know it must have been difficult, but it sounds like it was the best outcome.
So today isn't a huge holiday in the US, right? Even though it's a very religious holiday, for some reason, it feels like one of the days where nothing is open. Sigh. I realized at 11 last night that I had no coffee in the house...but then I found I jar of instant that I use for baking. It wasn't bad. But since I put cream and sugar in my coffee, I can manage all but the worst coffees.
Damn, this tribute to Carrie Fisher. Ouch.
I don't want to try watching that before work. Bookmarked for later.
Steph, that it is coming from the medical professionals makes it so it doesn't feel like a betrayal from family.
To echo WindSparrow- the Care Manager is/should be trained to help with that- I have been working on a training course for Care Managers for about a year, and transitions, coaching "reluctant" patients, and promoting self-management are what they are all about.
