My 80 yr old mother will shortly be undergoing surgery for which I believe she may need some in-home care afterwards. She has two kinds of insurance (Medicare and a supplement), with no assets to speak of. Does anyone know how I go about finding out what she might be entitled to vis-a-vis in-home care? I’ve read a bit online, but between long-term care, short-term care, home-health care, custodial care, palliative care, Medicare parts A,B,C, and D, and blah, blah, blah….you get the picture. And what if she needs care on a more regular basis, depending on how this all turns out? Overall, I feel like I’m in a bit over my head. Any guidance out there? And thanks for your answers.

I try to eat a balanced diet and exercise and take a multi-vitamin everyday but still am often sluggish in the afternoon (even though I try to eat a smaller meal and have protein).

Have you found an energy supplement/pill that actually works and is safe to take?

Thanks!

guess asked:


I’m interested in the changes that people have made that make them feel good. Some that I’ve made are:

- I take 1000 mg. of fish oil daily. I think my circulation has improved, and my mood.

- I’ve cut out dairy from my diet, and gluten products for the most part. Cutting out the wheat, I lost 18 pounds in two weeks.

- I started exercising three times a week. I have more energy overall.

- I do yoga. It helps me focus and relax.

- I take 5-HTP supplements. This is the precursor to seratonin, of which is linked to depression. It relaxes me and boosts my mood.

- I keep a diary of how I feel every day. It helps me track what works and what doesn’t.

I bought some Airborne (the lemon-lime flavor, because that’s the only flavor worth getting) because it’s the sick-cold-flu season, and I just can’t get sick right now.

My mom and I are having this debate:
Is Airborne less effective when more water is added?

I add no more than 6-8 oz, and I think it does NOT make it less effective. It doesn’t taste that bad! My mom’s just critical, and she think it’s too much. I don’t really care, I just want to know the effectiveness of it.

Help me settle this bet, pleaseee.
