[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 416572, member: 84"] Sounds like you have an awesome neuropsychologist on board!!! Yay!! The rest? Sounds pretty typical for a very elderly person. Her tail bone hurts because of all the pressure from the full bowel pressing on it. The full bowel makes her feel "full" so her appetite and urge to drink is reduced, which only makes it worse. The "fullness" doesn't really make her feel up to moving around much either, especially if it stirs up gas, by the time you get to that stage the gas pains can get awfully painful. There is this fiber powder sold OTC for food and drink that is tasteless and helps a lot. I can't recall the name off the top of my head but Aubrey has severe issues with constipation and it works wonders for her........and if it has no taste to a 4 yr old your aunt should have no issue. The referrence to the hall repeatedly is memory loss, sounds like some short term memory issues, also not uncommon. The rest? Mostly just that she doesn't want to give up her independence with some confusion added in. lol That bowel issues needs watched closely. mother in law had severe arthritis pain and took large amts of pain medications.......and so the bowel issue became a major problem. Then......it got blocked and that was the end. Nursing home staff were to be encouraging her to eat and drink........but yeah, you can't shove it down their throats, so all you can do is hope to convince them. Sounds like things are beginning to swing in your favor. Wonderful. Hugs [/QUOTE]
