The Pink Flamingo's Father: Alzheimer's Disease and Family Finances
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2013/10/alzheimers-disease-and-family-finances.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Saturday, October 26, 2013. Alzheimer's Disease and Family Finances. On Friday, when I went to pick up my father's monthly prescription of Namenda. No, It was wasn't that much of a national emergency. BUT. after being ripped off for several years, by Walgreens, over my mother's cardiac medication, I was in no mood to argue. They were going to give him a 3 month's supply - for nearly $600! For Alzheimer's is that we just. Don't know if it does any good. We all know about the.

The Pink Flamingo's Father: The Last Day, Part II
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-last-day-part-ii.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Monday, October 20, 2014. The Last Day, Part II. This Is My Very Favorite Photo of My Father. Finally, about 2:30 he fell asleep, with Maggie and Raymond heading home. He slept, tossing and turning, most of the night. He woke up about 4PM, going to the bathroom, no problem walking, then went back to sleep. They recognized it was a bleed out, and wanted to take him to Roswell for additional treatment. We said no, take him to Ruidoso. He had a medical directive. My s...I called ...

The Pink Flamingo's Father: Take Me Out to the ? Game?
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/09/take-me-out-to-game.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Monday, September 22, 2014. Take Me Out to the? APR, Rachel, Cutie Catie, 2013. We're at the table. Do you think I should go check on the team? He said he was sick. I wonder if he was faking. Most people aren't when they say they're sick.". You need to call Jimmy Southerland. Cousin by marriage, dead for at least 25 years. And tell him that someone is sending him a bus ticket to come down and play for the team. You're going to call him for me. The team needs him. That's why yo...

The Pink Flamingo's Father: Oh the Pain!
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/09/oh-pain.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Thursday, September 18, 2014. She is NOT terminal. She is not in the final stages of congestive heart failure. When she has problems eliminating fluid, she can go into the early stages of CHF, but it is stopped by diuretics. The physician who assigned the home health care program lied about her condition. I think he did so in order to make more money. Posted by SJ Reidhead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Rachel, Dustin, Laura and Cutie Catie. In late February, 2011 my 86 ...

The Pink Flamingo's Father: The New Facts of Life
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2013/11/the-new-facts-of-life.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Friday, November 15, 2013. The New Facts of Life. I wonder where they were? We took APR off his Alzheimer's meds last week. My mother has been saying how dull he looks, how he can barely make it through breakfast without falling asleep. It's such a problem that it is difficult to do anything with him in the mornings. Right after breakfast, he must nap. Then he dresses, naps again. After that, you think I'm going to trust them? Within three days his eyes were brighter. Sure...

The Pink Flamingo's Father: A Little Wine
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/02/a-little-wine.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Wednesday, February 19, 2014. Easter Lunch At Our Favorite Spot. This morning, after my mother dressed, and went back into the kitchen, she noticed that my father was a little red in the face. He had a difficult time standing, could barely walk. She started to panic. When she told me, I started to panic. What on earth was going on with him. There had been a good 2-3 inches of sherry left in it. He drank at least two-thirds of a cup! Then, he started Sun-downing later in the af...

The Pink Flamingo's Father: Eat It, Just Eat It!
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/09/eat-it-just-eat-it.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Sunday, September 21, 2014. Eat It, Just Eat It! It was one of those all-hands-on-deck family crises moments, with both sides of my family working together to do whatever was necessary to save Gram. (FYI: Nearly 40 years later we are still sorting through the mountain of family memorabilia - there was that much.). Not eating destroyed Gram. My next mission is to keep it from destroying my mother. Of course, we don't have that problem with the Junk Food Junkie! In late February...

The Pink Flamingo's Father: Peanuts and Prayer
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/07/peanuts-and-prayer.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Tuesday, July 1, 2014. My mother has been in ICU and the hospital for the past few days. I ended up 'baby-sitting' for my father, who is in Stage 6 with his AD yesterday. Last Friday, when I was down at the house, for a party, he was like living with Cliff Clavin from Cheers. He constantly chattered, to the point where my mother was almost insane. She begged him to stop for just five minutes. He stopped for five seconds. Because of that, I was dreading today. This is our story.

The Pink Flamingo's Father: Feeling Robbed
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/04/feeling-robbed.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Sunday, April 6, 2014. Friday morning, I saw a headline from The Hill. Bob Dole is pissed about the VA. Right, you think we're going to drop him off, like a toddler with a back-pack, to go with a group of people who don't give a damn about him, to color and clap his hands to the wheels on the bus go round and round? If someone is pro-active and knows about the connection, it is possible, actually possible to ward off the disease, and even stop the symptoms - by vitamin therapy...

The Pink Flamingo's Father: The Last Day - Part I
http://thepinkflamingosfather.blogspot.com/2014/10/the-last-day-part-i.html
The Pink Flamingo's Father. Sunday, October 19, 2014. The Last Day - Part I. The Last Photo - He Never Stopped Praying. This may be the final post I do. I may go back and add a few others, back listing them, for the book I plan, but for all intents and purposes, this is the final post. He grazed, constantly. I even wondered if he would want to listen to a little. He loved Gershwin. I am not a care-giver. Part II will continue, tomorrow. Posted by SJ Reidhead. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
