@emteenest2 I like this group because we all seem to relate and understand each other. Today was a decent day although we both were extremely tired although mine I think was exhaustion. Today I looked at his wrists and his hands and wrists were covered in bruises from the restraints. Again I will never allow that again as I said lesson learned. I do however use essential oils so I mixed a couple to help with the bruising. I don’t think that I will forget about this until the bruises as a reminder have gone. I am still so mad that I stood there and allowed this, since then I have been reading up on restraints and medication.
Thanks for your kind words. It’s to bad that connect Mayo doesn’t have a zoom we could all connect to?

@jeanadair123 yes it would be nice. It would force me to put on some makeup (lol)
I am sorry to hear about the bruising from restraints. My dad had Alzheimers and thankfully did not need them. My husband has bruising from lots of infusions and blood work. The nurse recommended Arnicare cream. We got it on Amazon and it is amazing. Do try it. I hope you are doing ok.
