Earliest signs of decline?

Good morning ☀️
I’m happy to share- the dry shampoo I found is Kitch volumizing rice protein dry shampoo for men & women. I ordered the ‘invisible’ version. It’s travel size, it worked for us. Some reviews say that it has a scent, but the one I got is unscented. Which was really important to us.

Like I said … it’s the small wins. Today I’m trying new undergarment for my mom. Hope this works! The current incontinent undies have a strong elastic which can dig into sensitive skin. (I wonder if these things are biodegradable or are there mountains of disposable briefs everywhere? 😲)

As frustrating as all of this is, we want our loved ones to feel safe, comfortable and dignified.

Sending strength and hope🤗❤️✨

@gratia I remember on a previous post from Bill, about "The Calvary is Not Coming" - in fact he had a few posts I read, he mentions, the best incontinent undergarments he used for his wife, in his fight against her dementia journey. I just quickly looked in my ream of printed off Mayo Connect paper (that I save) to see if I could find it. It was a very helpful list. I couldn't find it and I'm not sure how to pull Bill's posts back up on this site. Maybe the mentors know if you need another under garment solution for her sensitive skin.
If I find it in my printed stack, I'll reach back out.
Best, Karla
