Advice from someone in a similar situation. My dad is to the point he needs someone with him at night specifically. He can be left alone but he needs someone to help him get to bed, help if he needs it in the middle of the night, help getting up, dressed and with breakfast. That has fallen to me and my sister. We alternate nights. When I can't do it, my son, who's a college kid, stays with him. It absolutely means the world to my dad. He goes on and on about how special "that kid" is. I bet your grandmother will feel the same way.

I already get some of the praise passed to me from her down the grapevine for “always being there.”
It kind of makes me shutter, I feel guilty for everything I did when fentanyl was all I cared about. She’s completely forgiven me, and sings my praises for being there to help her while I still see myself as a junkie who should be shot in the head for the things I’ve done and those that I’ve hurt in the process.

But at the same time, I’m not doing this as a guilt trip on myself, I just feel a need to. It’s hard to explain.

My aunt, who is the only other one receptive to helping but happens to have a husband, career and kids in Columbia about 2 hours away.. has tried to pitch that idea. She’s utterly refused to leave her home. In her words, “this is my home and I will die in my home come hell or high water.”

There are also senior in-home care options, but even at 10-12 bucks an hour can get kind of expensive even at part-time.
Does she have to have someone there all the time, or would it be possible for her to be by herself for a few hours at a time? With tech, like Life Alert, Alexa, smartphones, etc., there may be opportunities for her to stay by herself for a few hours a day, and that, with a combination of your time and possibly a senior care agency, you might be able to find a workable solution.

Personal request for advice here. Keep in mind I’m 25, and my girlfriend is 23.

My grandma needs 24/7 care now so i might have to move in with her since I’m the only one out of her 4 kids and 10 grand kids willing to help her. Do you think they will let me out of my lease to live with her for medical circumstances? My girlfriend and honestly my primary concern is our sex life disappearing and that would put a strain on us for sure.. but at this point I’d rather the ole lady get fed up and leave than not do everything I can to keep my grandmother alive as long as possible.

Is subletting an option? It's unlikely they are going to let you out of your lease, assuming you live in an apartment managed by some property management company.

It feels good to do for others, especially when you're doing something for someone that has helped you. Even more so when it's your family.

My dad was tearing up the other day. I asked him what was wrong. He said it hurts me to be a burden for my kids. He took care of my mom who suffered from Alzhiemers for close to 10 years. I asked him if mom was a burden for him. He said no. I said them why do you think it's a burden for us?

My dad won't be around much longer. Neither will your grandmother. Don't have regrets about what you could have done.

There is absolutely nothing easy about what your doing. You and I have been walking through this together for a long while now. My Mom is now 90. She has fallen twice in the last couple of weeks. The first fall she fractured for pelvis and the second she fractured her sacrum. She doesn't eat hardly anything anyone and tells me often she want to be here anymore. She has rheumatoid arthritis and neuropathy. She gets an IV for her RA every 8 weeks. She live in assisted living now and is going down fast. Praying for you Invol.

Meh. Just eat a handful less of said crap. Reminds me of the infamous doughnut experiment. Eat 1,500 calories worth of doughtnuts a day, you'll still lose weight. And eating less should save you money. No I'm not condoning a life of doughnuts unless you're already a radioactive yellow man.

I don't get why "healthy eating" has to be organic blahblahblah. Sure, it is ideal, but there is a muuch wider range of ways to stay at a lower weight that are extremely cost effective. How about many Asian communities? Many live off rice and staple proteins. Has anyone ever calculated the per meal cost of a bowl of rice?? It is cheap AF.

Just eat less. Save money. Lose weight.

Organic is a fraud. It's all marketing. You can eat clean and healthy without organic.
