My mom has asphasia due to her stroke in 2008. She can do alot for herself and does. However, in the past few months she does nothing but sleep and won't eat properly if there is nobody around to make her or should I say encourage her. I've gotten her in counseling and the dr. has changed her meds but SHE won't try and i'm getting frustrated and resentful. any advice??
Take care of yourself,
Carol
Have you heard of Guided Imagery? its a proven stress buster.
On the eating issues; try things she likes, even ice cream, and dessert. Good nutrition becomes secondary to getting something, anything inside their belly.
