[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 434768, member: 84"] Nomad Any chance of getting her evaled by a neuropsychologist to evaluate cognitive function? In other words, would she be willing to have it assessed? So much can be missed........and back then.......even more was missed. With the obesity I worry about type II diabetes. If she doesn't improve foot care and ends up with diabetes she's going to be in big trouble fast. A real worry given anyone with weight issues. Travis has poor hygiene, although I am glad to say it has MUCH improved over what it once was. It is just not something that occurs to him........because he could careless what others think, so even that feed back doesn't do much as far as motivation. He used to chew the pure hades out of this toe nails.......that plus poor hygiene led to a nasty infection......which led Mom treating nasty infection with scalding hot water and Epsom salts.....which seems to have been painful enough to stop the toe nail biting thing. Dry skin/ callouses aren't painful so she probably doesn't even think about it. (mine aren't painful at all) And if like Travis she has any issues with pain reception in certain areas of the body due to the brain surgery......she just plain may not be feeling it the way she should. Travis has ran a knife through his hand, 3rd degree burns on his hand and up his arm and didn't so much as wince in pain..........let him stub a toe and he'll go on and on as if someone cut off his leg. His pain receptors are messed up from the brain injury. [/QUOTE]
