    Wow Cathy that is a difficult situation. "you can lead a horse to water" and all that. it would be hard to get through to someone in any stage of dementia that better vision was a great benefit. her dementia is a likely factor in whether its ok to pre medicate her. you did what you...

    I think ( I dont know for sure) having an IV running is standard procedure. I believe they give some light anesthesia and so a fluid line is in place in to administer medications. probably they didnt even get to that part of the process. You are awake during the procedure and able to...

    Wow Cathy..im so sorry it didnt work! i thought they might "pre medicate" her, to settle down her anxiety with meds beforehand . i dont think the surgery could be done other than lying on your back but it took maybe 15-20 min? I had knee support. a lot of people are more comfortable...

    Cathy I had it backwards. i thought your mother was using the hospital because she didnt want to use the clinic. whatever!. hope she goes ahead and gets it done. that your father has already done it will make it easier for her. that word of mouth helps calm nerves. its still scary...

    costco had a sharing program that is gone too. for months now they have everyone sign in with their costco card as they enter the store. there is now an earlier hour of shopping for executive members. its an extra perk for those who pay for that level of membership, which we do. we buy...

    rode the trail today for `15 miles and 75 minutes. Carolyn to me this sounds like a second address is not going to be included in free shipping. your kids if they don't live at the same physical address, friends, etc. this was the AI response but it is what Ive read elsewhere. maybe I'm...
