  • Dementia information please?

    My grandmother is 89 years old but in great shape health wise. She never gets sick, has never had a cavity, just recently started using a walker, and is very well taken care of. She was diagnosed with early stages of dementia about six years ago (she wasn't as bad then) and moved in with my aunt, but now She's currently living with me and my family to give my aunt some rest. She does complain about headaches often (she has small brain tumors) She is confused daily multiple times a day about why she's here and whose house she's in and asks the same questions about every minute or so. She knows our family, but she asks the same question multiple times a day for example: I am 21 years old. She asks me multiple times a day what grade i'm in. It's been this way for maybe about four-five years now. More than anything she remembers: her childhood, her parents, siblings, and late husband. Tonight, while I was at work and my mom was sitting with her, she became lucid as if she had just woken up after five years. My mom had to explain everything to her that has happened in the past five years. A little later my grandma went to bed. I was excited and emotional when I got home and heard the news. I wanted so bad to go into her room and wake her up to see if she was still lucid bc I haven't had a real conversation with her in five or so years.

    I was wondering if this is common after having dementia for that long?

    And if there are triggers that my family and I can provide her with to have more time with her?

  • Office type jobs in the healthcare profession?

    I've been having an EXTREMELY hard time trying to figure out which career I'd like to go into. I see myself in an office-type environment, and I was wondering what kind of office-type jobs are offered in a hospital? I know there are TONS of occupations in the healthcare field other than doctors, nurses, surgeons, etc. and I was just curious as to what other kinds there are?

  • Can taking Celexa and being on the Depo shot be affecting my sex drive?

    I've been taking Celexa for anxiety (10 mg) for about eight months now and have been on the Depo shot for about the same amount of time. After about three months of being on both, I have noticed I've been having problems with my sex drive. I've noticed that I'm not getting "wet" anymore whenever the time comes, which I've never had a problem with at all before. So I'm guessing it has to be from either the antidepressant, the birth control, or possibly both? Is there something that can be done about this without stopping the medications? Or do I just have to suffer with it?

  • What is a good, scary topic that i can do an informative speech on?

    It doesn't HAVE to be scary, but I'm more interested in things like that. I really wanted to do one on an old insane asylum, but can't find a good one with a lot of information. I also wanted to do one on something historical like important stories or people in history that do not get enough of attention. Or just ANYTHING that's interesting!

  • Xbox 360 multiplayer games without having xbox live?

    I really like left 4 dead and I don't want to give up hope that there is anything just as awesome. I don't like games that have like missions and story lines and all that bs. I just want to walk forward and shoot, that's it. It doesn't have to have zombies in it, although it would be cool. So is there anything like that, or should I just play left 4 dead for the rest of my life??

  • What was this short story called??

    i read it in 10th grade i think... i think its about the future and these two parents are portrayed as kind of clueless (or at least the mother is. i remember she was a static character) well their son goes against the rules or something and they see him on tv and he is with a ballerina. and i think someone was shot. haha sorry, i would have done a better summary... but those are the only facts i remember :) i was just thinking about some of the short stories that i remember reading in high school, and i really liked this one and couldn't remember the name of it.

  • I need a good point to make about the symbolism in my essay on "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson?

    my body paragraphs will either be about symbols of life and death or symbols of tradition and crumbling tradition. or maybe even all of them.. what could my thesis statement be about that shows how all of the symbolism works together to highlight the theme? what could i even say the theme is?

    if this doesn't sound like such a great idea, then is there some other way i can organize my essay? i dont HAVE to use symbolism either..
