Are space heaters an option, so she can crank the heat up in whatever room she's in? Maybe an electric blanket for her room at night?
None of it means a damn thing.

A number of the employees at my medical practices keep space heaters under their desks because the offices are so cold with AC blasting. That might be a good option.

Thrive to spite them
She has 2 space heaters and an electric blanket AND she wears either her robe or a jacket and other layers. And that is kind of the issue. I think her room is around 89 (I don't know) so the house feels so much colder than it is and then it's a shock going outside.
She is anemic but hasn't gone to the doctor about it and hasn't been taking iron supplements. The heat hasn't been on in the spare room , where the computer is, and it's fairly comfortable in here for me and the living room is just a touch too warm it is what it is.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Yikes, askye! Now I'm wondering if I should google what kind of a symptom 'extremely cold-feeling' (or however you'd medically term it) and diagnose from far away.
Note: there may well be problems where even a little cold is a bad idea -- my Mom had trigeminal neuralgia and stepping into a blast of cold air could almost knock her off her feet because the facial pain it kicked off was like an electric shock.
She sounds super-hard to live with -- ltc is quite reasonable by comparison (and certainly age-appropriate).

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Ugh, it's been a Monday. Gary got up at stupid o'clock to catch his flight for yet another business trip. I had to wrangle Mr. S to get him fed, medicated and dressed, in that order. Christmas music was playing all morning long in the lab.(Yep, I got LDB'ed already) And to top it off, when I got back from lunch my computer decided it wouldn't accept my password or read my ID card. Both things worked when I used them in another computer, so I don't know why my computer lost it's mind. Called the help desk who said they'd put me in as high priority. Didn't see or hear any IT people the rest of the day.
Oh, yeah, still grey and rainy.

While we were decorating the tree on Sunday I got Maria'd, LDB'ed, and sent to Whamhalla, all in one Spotify playlist.

Very efficient, ND!
I hope tomorrow is better, Sheryl.

Can you convince her to have her thyroid levels and iron levels checked?
