Guest guest Posted August 6, 2004 Report Share Posted August 6, 2004 i was talking to the exelon people and they said, a common side effect more coommon in women is weight loss/loss of appetite . thought i would pass that on, fortuantely dad has good appetite still he eats 2 square meals a day, and since he is prone to falls he has an in sulated mug of ice water at his bedside, mug with handle easier for him to grip, i also ;'borrowed' some of those plastic glasses they use at the hosptial with the rough feeling for easeir gripping and dad uses those too. and i keep an assortment of snacks on his nightstand, i buy the assortment pack of chips, and he loves those danish butter cookies in a tin, and he loves little debbie snacks so at any given time he has a wide assortment of snacks, he lost 30 lb in hosp, and so did i, i figure he doesnt have much of a life left, so if the man wants to snack, let him, whats it gonna do shorten his life, well lewy is doing that anyway, may as well let him enjoy waht ever he can , sharon m a smile a day keeps the meanies away!!!

Guest guest Posted August 8, 2004 Report Share Posted August 8, 2004 This is the way we felt about our mother. LBD had already robbed her of life why should we rob her of the foods she enjoyed. She was border line diabetic but we let her eat whatever she wanted. Couldn't see that it really was making any difference.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Hi , I have to agree with you. I would make a terrible diabetic I am afraid. I have always said so. I like my sweets, but yet I am not one to overdo. I am not a candy bar junkie, but I enjoy cookies and dessert. I love milkshakes and if it took that to get me to eat then you are doing a wonderful job. I only have so many days on this earth the same as everyone else. Each of us it may be different, but while I am here as long as I don't overdo then give me what I please if possible. I could get hooked on Hi protein drinks if they tasted good and didn't have an aftertaste. I got a ways before that is a worry though...Hugs...Patti > This is the way we felt about our mother.
