Team Limey hasn't even compiled a list. Maybe that's the problem?

Sorry I'm late to the party. Hope the meds are doing what they should, not what they shouldn't.
Sympathy.

When I was a scout leader and attended a pre-Philmont training class for leading a crew there, they asked us to tell the boys not to poop in the showers.  Apparently it happened once the previous summer for the staff doing the training and was very traumatic for them because they were in a backcountry "village" and didn't have the tools the needed to clean it up easily.

So SHit happens.

Thanks, Dad, indeed. We're here for you Carruthers, whenever you need us.

This is such wonderful news. Holding patterns vary in duration, not in relation to the original damage/setback suffered, but they are just that. So GOOD to see you moving forward, Monster, and to Clodfobble - hang in there. You'll be moving forward when you're good and ready. I *know* you'll see/feel the moment!

I'll have what you're having!
But seriously, I don't disagree. This is why, although I am not a Christian I do believe they are onto something when they say God is Love. It really is all you need, and the hardest thing to achieve.

With the meds in particular, I highly recommend an automated medication dispenser called Hero. It's not cheap (initial outlay for the machine plus a monthly subscription), but it is fucking fantastic.

Fully programmable, plays an alarm when its time to take certain meds, then the patient just pushes the "be quiet" button on the alarm and the exact meds they need to take pop out into a cup. It can handle up to ten medications, notifies you (the caregiver) on your phone if a dose is missed, notifies you when pill supplies are running low, and can sometimes even order refills online for you if you're using certain pharmacies.

I was going to suggest something like this. I, too, had a determinedly independent mother who refused to move nearer to me so I could be of greater help until it was too late, so I feel your pain, UT.

Which is different from being pissed?

We all must learn when to piss so as to not kill anyone.

Pssst ... I think someone is down there.

So much to be learned.
 

Being pissed in the US = being annoyed.
Being pissed in the UK = being drunk.
There is a BIG difference.
I was neither.
