Watch the medication.

Had a good visit with Mom on the phone this morning.  She seemed to be back to her old self again.  Snickers had requested that they cut back on some of her medication after the problems earlier in the week.  In doing some follow up reading about the side effects of some of the medication they have Mom on, Snickers noticed that the negative side effects coincide with many of Moms recent symptoms.  One medication actually said "Not recommended for dementia patients."  She is going to OAR today with this info and "is ticked".  (pray for them)   I'll try and get better data on this medication thing and post it here later.  One of the side effects also explains Mom's sudden weight gain.

The following write up  explains so much.

 

"Ever walk into a room with some purpose in mind, only  to completely forget what that purpose was?  Turns out, doors themselves are  to blame for these strange memory lapses.

 

Psychologists at the University of Notre Dame have discovered that passing through a doorway triggers what's known as an event boundary in the mind, separating one set of thoughts and memories from the next. Your brain files away the thoughts you had in the previous room and prepares a blank slate for the new locale."

 

It's not aging, it's the door!

 

 

Whew! Thank goodness !!!
