What's The Last Thing You Did Before Logging in Tsikot?

[dr. d]

so what are you going to do? browbeat the second mom you so dearly love, everytime she fails to take her medications on time? whip her into complying?

as eddie garcia says in his ads, "kung magkulang, tulungan!"

[uls]

aside from that anlaki na ng ginagastos ni Cathy

so hiring a caregiver just to make sure umiinom ng gamot 8am and 8pm doesn't make sense

EXACTLY. Hire a caregiver para sa matigas ang ulo. NEVER ko tinipid second Mom ko. I take her to the best doctors and buy her expensive medicines. But to pay P30k dahil sa TIGAS NG ULO. That is ridiculous.

I'm sacrificing my own health and my whole life to take care of her. I only ask na tulungan naman niya sarili niya. Kahapon muntik na ko mabangga kasi lutang na isip ko. Lack of sleep and exhaustion

kaya nga Cathy has modified her routine na to make sure her patient takes meds on time

[dr. d]

doc, Cathy already said she doesn't get enough sleep coz she has to make her 2nd mom take her medicine

so 8am and 8pm she has to be awake and at home to do that

Cathy usually isn't awake at 8am (coz she sleeps late and wakes up late) and isn't home at 8pm (coz she's still at the office during that time)

eh pwede naman gawin dapat yan ng 2nd mom niya

how hard can it be to take meds at 8am and 8pm?

yun lang ayaw gawin ng 2nd mom niya so Cathy has to modify her routine

now she has to wake up early and work from home or go to the office and be home by 8pm

how difficult is it to take meds at 8 am and again at 8 pm, all by oneself?
ask her second mom!
her response might be, "what meds?"

if second mom is as healthy as us, easily. she can probably recite the first 12 prime numbers on demand, while jumping hoops and swimming across the pool.

but at her age...
have we been that old before? loss of brain function is a fact of life among the elderly. not to mention, her non-healing wound.
i'm not that old, and i sometimes forget to take my medications on time.
extrapolate the neuronal loss to +20 years. then throw in a non-healing leg ulcer. and some arthritis on the side.
to the young, we can not imagine how life is, for the elderly.

my bottomline is, we have no idea, just how difficult it is for the elderly, to do things that we-the-younger, can easily do.

i was offering a solution, but she thumbs it down.
in my opinion, she's thinking like a businessman. she's thinking of the cost of labor, vis a vis product output.
but she fails to input her own well-being. so she pours her issues here in the threads.

medical expenses.
i would ask my doctor, if there are cheaper but still acceptable alternatives.
many doctors think that, just because the patient does not complain to him about the expenses, it is fine with the patient. and if the patient comes around as well-dressed, that belief is supported.

but i think one of the biggest issues with the elderly, is their loss of self-esteem.
we should work on restoring and preserving theirs.

tbh I wouldn't care so much pag yung tao mismo walang paki hehe.

Wow. You have no right to judge me that way. You do not know my situation and how much I have sacrificed for my second Mom. I chose to stay here in Manila in spite of my whole family being abroad. I take care of my second Mom like a real daughter would, even more than my own biological mother.

Are you saying that 70+ yr olds are NOT capable of taking care of themselves? So how come my 75 yr old Mom, my 91 yr old Lola, my 82 yr old Tita and OTHER senior family, ALL older than my second Mom can very well take care of themselves???

And why would insult me assuming that I see my second mom as a product or as a cost? Do you have any idea how much I have spent on her? You do know the surgeon that I took my second Mom too? Hindi naman siya patakbuhin dina? And all the other doctors that my second Mom is seeing are contemporaries of Dr Sarmiento. Do you have any idea how hard is to maintain a desk job and travel to Pasig once a week? I am up at 8 am and when I get back at home, I have to login and work until 12 am AT THE MINIMUM. So please, do not tell me about cost because I am sacrificing my WHOLE LIFE for her. All I ask e TULUNGAN NIYA SARILI NIYA. Is that too much to ask????

Thank you very much for making me feel like a bad person. And so dito na nga lang ako nakakapag labas ng sama ng loob, masama pa rin pala yun.

dr d, you can use the ignore button if you are tired of my posts complaining about my situation. I am really sorry but my life is not happy and perfect like the rest of you people. Kaya pagbigyan niyo na ko sa paghinga ng sama ng loob ko.

"Help me help you"

well that sounds totally contrary to what doc posted above

[chronicle]

Cathy. Dont lash on the other posters here. They are merely just chimming in.
