Caregiving can be completely exhausting sometimes

I use my app to track everything and I've added a feature where an encouraging message would pop up right after I finish logging a task.

I have been tweaking it to add a little humor to the day just to make the care givers smile a bit and I wanted to see what you can add.

For for example after helping my LO in a bathroom trip it would say Code Brown logged You deserve a superhero cape but a strong coffee will have to do.

After checking vitals Vitals checked Your blood pressure remains the only thing in crisis

For making the bed Sheets changed You have defeated the biome and lived to tell the tale

What is a funny realistic messages you would actually want to see pop up on the screen after surviving a tough caregiving moment?

Witty messages will get you the app for free; if interested, but let's get the humor exactly right first!

Thanks

Hi all,

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

My dad who's in his 80s was suffering from Dementia, and then he developed Parkinson's like symptoms.

Most of the time he's not communicating, except those days when he's "back" talking, but mixing places people and hallucinates.

Most of the time his muscles are stiff, he progressively finds it hard to walk a few steps, or to bring himself to sit at the edge of the bed. He's on Levodopa/Carbidopa.

My question is, how does it feel having that stiffness in the muscles? I would imagine one would feel sore?

I usually massage his shoulders and arms, I use a massage gun, not sure if this is something that helps or increases sourness. He's been prescribed Tylenol 3 times a day, fearing that he's not verbalizing pain.

Wishing you all the best
