Funny you should say. We've been experimenting with CBD gummies and CBD oil along with Melatonin at night (trying to avoid pharmaceuticals). While the melatonin seems to help mom sleep, the (very expensive) CBD gummies have been a complete and utter failure. In fact, we believe they're making things worse. So the CBD strategy has been scrapped. As much as I've been against pharmaceuticals, they may be the only choice. I justify the paradigm shift in my head by telling myself that mother brought it on herself. I get that the memory and cognitive issues are not her fault. But the nastiness is her through and through. That said....Thanks for your concern. My weaknesses is seeing someone suffer. I hate to see anyone suffer. Is there anything you can do to alleviate the health care workers pain? Lol.
Michelle (the proprietor) is very sweet, sensitive and smart. In her words, "We don't want zombies here. But we do want your mother to be comfortable and happy." I've known Michelle since she was a child (dated her mom and then her sister many moons ago - long story). So it's a funny juxtaposition that she's now taking care of my mom. Even funnier, her sister, Tammy (whom I used to date and works at Michelle's Care Home) is getting her butt kicked by my mom almost daily. Tammy already has some battle scars. Poetic justice??
I joked with Michelle; of the litany of crappy reality shows on the air today, her small Care Home would actually probably make for a very entertaining reality show. There would be a lot of bleeping for any scene with my poddy-mouth mother. Yes, mother has grown quite the poddy mouth, which the girls just laugh off. I have to hand it to them, they are very patient. Good times....
