Thank you.
Her sigmoidoscopy was done yesterday. I requested a final
X-ray today to confirm that the stool is clearing approximately, and that there is no blockage or inflammation. She had a PT consult that didn’t go all that well but we’ll try walking her again today. If all goes well, she’ll be discharged. I have to do even more to manage her food to prevent constipation and am busy working on that.

Im just wondering if I’m the worst helicopter advocate ever or if others would do the same as I’ve done.

I’ve been managing her medical for a few w years and have always been the one to research and diagnose all of her illnesses, so I’m a bit😊 controling…more so as her cognition worsens.

@trishcnwma You are having a difficult time with your sister.That prep.is hard to take.Any time that I have had a colonoscopy I just drink it down fast taking a glass every ten minutes.That is easier said than done with a person who has alzheimer's.The Mira Lax in juice sounds a good idea.Good luck with the care of your sister.
