Thanks man…unfortunately talking with her today it’s clear she will never come back mentally.  She was very upset we couldn’t go to dinner at the grill.  The grill was a place she went to back when she lived in Myrtle Beach 20 yrs ago.  She also told me her friends from New York came out of the closets and visited for a while today.  Very sad

It might be the meds she is on making her cognitive symptoms worse.  It might be a good idea to get someone in the know about medications and their interactions to check what meds the doctors have her on.  I have a family member who was having similar issues several months ago who had recently had a med change that caused her to see things that were not there and basically think she was living at a time of her life a few decades ago.  We got her off those meds and she is much better.

I was talking to a guy also several months ago who told me his wife (who was a long time nurse) was studying to be a nurse practitioner who specialized specifically in this - geriatric pharmacology.

This is just one of a multitude of examples of my above post- something as innocuous as pepcid can cause symptoms.

Aging patients are also likely to be unaware that their confusion, for instance, could be caused by H2 receptor antagonists or muscle breakdown by statins. This could lead to a prescribing cascade, with more drugs being added to deal with other drug-induced symptoms.Geriatric Pharmacology: Medication Management for an Aging Population (news-medical.net)

I went to three dermatologists after an internal medicine doctor for a simple mole, a mole I knew was dangerous. And I have had three removed prior after biopsy’s revealed they were trouble so I knew what I was doing. The first two refused to look twice let alone biopsy it. I even had one say they’d remove it but not test it if it really bothered me.

Third doctor I straight up told him to test it and that’s what I was there for a not his opinion. Shockingly it was cancerous. And I had to do a few other tests because this was over a period of years. I contacted the other doctors to let them know, and they really couldn’t care less.

What I’ve learned with the pathetic medical system is to demand things instead of ask things. It’s really sad.

      Yeah I think they are wanting to let XL and Coker develop, but I don't see nothing wrong with a speed guy on day 2

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Basbear · Posted

      Finding that dance partner will be difficult and who's to say the team trading up has not offer a package to 5th, 6th, 7th??? They did and were turned down most likely.    I still feel 8th is the hot spot for OT run. If you want the best OT/OL in the draft, 8th is the way.    *But Ive been reading lots of Jets and others having Membou as their pick. Banks and Campbell are right there in great value terms. The whole deal is that pick for the Panthers, they are not looking to spend a top resource on OL, 31 other teams are.    I've also been seeing sanders falling out of the top ten, I just have a hard time buying that. ALso seen dart being drafted in the top ten. FYI last year NO ONE had a 1st round grade on Bo Nix and many thought Michael Penix Jr. was at best late 1st early 2nd. I laugh hard at the failcons drafting Penix at 8th, but I stopped laughing during that week 18 game.... he looked legit......barf....  So... one team could easily trade up for sanders or dart or begin the OL run or Jeanty causes a stir as he falls.  There are legit options, Brandt and Dan get paid for this...

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.
