A couple of weeks ago, Betty got the stomach flu that's been going around, and about every 48 hours, another member of the family caught it, starting with me. Kim, her wonderful driver, took her to the doctor for me, as I was feeling awful, and they prescribed an anti-nausea drug. What a miracle pill! We still have some left, and when Betty complained about nausea again last week, and was curled up on her bed feeling awful, I gave her one of them. Within 45 minutes, she was eating and taking her medicine.
So if you're dealing with an elderly person who's going to vomit all over herself and create lots of extra work for YOU, not to mention misery for herself, see if you can get a doctor to prescribe one of these wonderful drugs. Better Living Through Chemistry--it's not just a slogan to me!
