Hi
I'm a peer and have taken care of elderly parents, facing many of the typical issues. I'm involved in quite a bit of research relating to seniors and elderly parent issues in anticipation of eventually launching a related web site to assist families. I share my research on my blog: seniorcareunzipped.blogspot.com If I can answer any questions or do some research on any issues relating to aging or aging parents, I'd be glad to assist you and possibly publish the answer on this blog. Best of Health, Ginny Dillon Senior Care Unzipped |

I'll have to look at it in more depth at some point, but it looks like a useful site with a lot of good links. And given that I spent something like 10 hours of the last 48 dealing with issues having to do with my parents, I WILL be going out and checking things out more thoroughly. ( Mam is 86, in a nursing home; chronic issues include high blood pressure, moderate dementia due to a frontal lobe stroke, severe oesteoarthritis, oesteoporosis, and hardening of the arteries, current acute issue is "mild pneumonia". My father's 84, had the flu, got over it but was a bit dehydrated; dehydration caused him to have a blood pressure drop when he got out of bed this morning, blood pressure drop made him lose his balance and fall - hitting the side of his face on on the edge of a chair. Driving my dad to the emergency room wasn't exactly how I'd planned to spend my Sunday morning....) |

Looks like a 100% off-topic post from someone who doesn't participate here and who's posted the identical article to other newsgroups. Do you really want to encourage that kind of behavior? -- Melinda Shore - Software longa, hardware brevis - Prouder than ever to be a member of the reality-based community |

Oh, I can definitely relate. My issues are over and done with, though, which is bittersweet - I no longer have to deal with those issues, but then again M and P [1] are no longer around, either. But: I agree with Melinda. It's seriously off topic, does not belong here, and I've seen the same thing on at least two other newsgroups today - which does, after all, fit the original USENET definition of spam. [2] Best of luck to you and your family, though. [1] For you Kubrick/Burgess fans.
