So sorry to hear that.

Grats smarty pants!

:( I do. There’d be more than thousands down there heh. Really hoping the mist of ruination get transported but yea, big doubts about that. At least I’m not being bitten by insects running the garden lol.

Gardening sesh complete. Green bin full!

I have a sore finger from pressing the aerogard button so much lol. 300g went a long way though so might be cheaper than I thought.

Interesting thing from pulling the oxalis that I sprayed Monday evening is a lot of the bulbs came up with it so that was a surprise. Almost like they were stuck on more but might be imagining things.

Now it’s a pizza time.

Just burning a kranksy w/ chillies on top, inside with a weed burner.

Thank you. Got lost in the garden so good escape.

Hope yours treated you well too :)

Moody cloud w/ tonight’s sunset:

That’s the look of “you’re giving my stash to the outside kitties, explain”.

Oh missed this reply sorry.

The thermos thing is a really good idea. I’m going to try that. Thank you.

Thankfully asking about nausea / bowel things is pretty standard.

Quickly feeling full is a struggle. To my mind with how little she’s eating it happens very quickly.

I think one of the problems is just how many people she’s seeing. Problem is they don’t all speak to each other.

Ol’ boy is the one managing it on a macro level, but I’m trying to get everything to fit together day to day as it’s a bit chaotic.

For example, w/ her eye pressure meds (this is to prevent total blindness), can only take a few of them with food, but they interact w/ each other so you have to space them out. When you have random food refusal… it’s just super difficult to get it into a schedule. It’s a bit frustrating lol.

Sincerely thank you for the kind words and your experiences. They are extremely helpful.

I’ll take any advice atm so please don’t say sorry I’m thankful for everyone here chiming in. She’s had so much of it from so many doctors. Was resetting her medicare app the other day and it’s just insane how many appts she’s had.

Creamy soups seems to be the only thing atm.

There are but it’s another layer of drugs that I’m not sure she’ll be receptive to. I think the main problem is her mouth and pain. She has a bunch of mouth numbing things but… refusal… grr.

everyday ask her opinion about other things

We do. That’s one of the harder things with this non-amnestic MCI. She remembers everything, has her opinions, remembers what’s happening currently in the news. There’s an aloofness there that is difficult to overcome when in conversation.

The eating issues relate to a series of mouth ops in the past and now poor decision making about what she can (or will) eat. Only thing that slows that MCI business is eating and exercise. It’s basically compounding. Other thing with the MCI stuff is stress and anxiety. Ol’ boy and I are stressed about not enough food, makes her stressed, makes things worse. If ol’ boy and I aren’t banging on about food, she eats less which further… It’s fucked.

E: In terms of long term when asking her it’s day by day.

This is what really worries me. I suspect she won’t. Ol’ boys’ field so I’m staying out of it. I think that conversation is happening today.

She does, so i cook it, then she can’t eat it or if she can she’s no where eating near enough of it. I think of something else and she doesn’t want it because she didn’t ask for it.

I really needed her to not refuse supplements as that’s the safety net.

Heading back down the beach today to tackle the unmentionable plant.

Had a few run ins w/ ol’ girl over the last few days so time to give it a rest and let ol’ boy decide what’s next. Her weight has gone from 53kg -> 42kg over 5 weeks and I just cannot get that to turn around because of refusal. She has it all there, food, supplements, hubby is a doc, someone willing to cook whatever whenever. Makes me feel pretty bad that I just couldn’t do it.

So pretty much looking at a PEG (feeding tube into tummy bypassing mouth / throat). Sounds bad but it’s not really, the alternative is far worse.

Can’t win them all.

lol, misery loves company :)

hehe yet another oxalis post on the other place gardeningaustralia.

And everyone arguing how to get rid of it (again) lol. It’s just that time of year I guess.

lol. Walking back home with all that walked past a bunch of the stuff on someone’s nature strip and it took every fibre of my being to restrain myself.

No, this is my death mist

Prawn gyoza with a back up kransky just in case.
