Dealing with the suffering from Dementia
stitchdup replied to NYLIBUD's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
I think thats the tougest part of it for family. We're so used to seeing these people as capable that we struggle to deal with it when they aren't. They are usually the people we turned to for advice so theres a sense of loss from that which people that haven't gone through it cant understand. In some ways it would be easier on us if there was some physical thing to remind us that they aren't well because again we'vw become accustomed to seeing them that we do forget sometimes. -
Dealing with the suffering from Dementia

it may be better to get your sister to stay at yours for those couple of days. changes to his routine can speed up the effects of the disease and increase his confusion -

Dealing with the suffering from Dementia
stitchdup replied to NYLIBUD's topic in The Off-Topic Lounge
please stop him driving, dementia can cause visual and auditory hallucinations that lead to accidents. Things that can help you both cope are when he's having a good day, you could go through old photos and write down who each person is. it gets his brain working more and older memories are going to be easier for him to find. foods he would have enjoyed when he was younger will have an affect too. Its a hard road but there will be good days and bad and all you can really do is your best. be sure to make time for yourself too, you cant help if your burnt out. It also helps to have a sick sense of humour just to keep yourself sane. If he does something funny, its ok to laugh so dont feel guilty about things like that. Have you got a local group that deals with dementia? oftentimes they will have bed alarms that will let you know if he is up and wandering through the night. If he starts to wander the bed alarm will be a major weight of your mind as you get to know before they reach an outside door. My granny had the bed alarm and she was up and wandering almost every night so the alarm saved a lot of worry. also, its ok to be frustrated by the disease, and you will get frustrated by it a lot as its an awful thing. -

I've only got a small area left before filler now man, I have the oil based primer for after i fill the edges and where i've made divots. If i knew how much of a pain it was going to be i'd have just papered it. I'm having to mask around the mirror and other bits too cos they have been on so long the plastic will break if i remove them.

Since i got my shower replaced a couple of weeks ago i decided to repaint my bathroom. I dont know what one of the previous tennants was thinking but theres a layer of bright blue latex under the wallpaper and its really a fight to get it removed. I've spent the entire week scraping it off dry as if this stuff gets wet it just smears. Its not even a big room, 2m x 2.5m but i'm on day 9 of stripping whatever this stuff is from the walls. I think I'll get some edging for around the roof as I already bought all the paint without planning to do the roof and it'll save me having to strip it back too. I really hope i can get the filler and painting started soon. I expected it to take a couple of days, not a couple of weeks and I've filled 2 bin bags with paint scrapings. On the plus side, i think the room is bigger now

I filled my friend toilet cystern with jello when i was watching his dog. I also left an inch of cold water on top so it all looked right when he couldn't get it to flush. Apparently the plumber had never seen it before. The same time I also scanned every photo with him in it, that was in the house and replaced him with me, even his work id got done. He was finding them for months.

LED Tape strip light questions

some of those light up christmas tree ornaments might be a cheap source for lighting. some of them just have a watch battery for the power source so wouldn't take up much space. -

Well i purchased an anycubic m3 max a couple of weeks ago and it works great so far. I am still fighting with the mono 4k and have tried the settings that work on the m3 on the mono and still the prints on it are failing. Is there a setting on the printer i might be missing out? I copied the settings that are working on the m3 but still the monno doesn't want to play ball
