Therese Atkins Daily Menu

But to the few who would like to know my routine, it's nothing special, I am not recommending this to you, I am just divorcing my recipe for my wife's ongoing treatment, first of all, the medication that Therese takes alone can be a major factor so enough said, to combat her system I supplement a diet of various mixed green salads, and the dressing used is diffidently vinaigrette no other, a little Czar salad now and then. Secondly, her second course is her meat course, mostly poached fish of some kind, codfish, salmon, mackerel, tilapia, reddish tuna, or ma-hi ma hi, and served with an olive oil sauce of some kind. And three hours later bowl of chicken noodle soup with a leak or colored greens. For her beverage she only has juices orange, grapefruit, apple, cranberry, or fruit punch, banana, melon strawberry, pineapple puree with almond milk, and on occasion ginger ale soda. By 6 PM her last meal is a cup of coffee. As long as Almighty God Jehovah provides the resources I am willing to prepare the meals, believe me, Almighty Jehovah has never failed me yet, my faith and trust is in the almighty alone, and no other. If I may let me caution you about the most important thing, the patient's medication I recommend that you pay attention to detail.

Medication Needs a Healthy Diet:

The continuation of Therese journey living with a shunt place in her head as told by her husband. In my observation for the last six months or so, Therese has functioned normally she seldom shows signs of fatigue or restlessness, she is always gentle and smiles often, the one drawback is that on occasion she quenches with pain by holding her right leg and massaging it, I am not sure what kind of discomfort she is suffering from.

Healthy Eating is Recommended:

Her eating habits have not changed much, I suppose the main reason for that is the diet I place her on, and the intake of food at the precise time of day. Below are some pictures of her afternoon snacks, Therese has a strict morning schedule one that has worked for me quite well. Wake up alarm at 10:AM. Followed by a bath or a body sponge Medication at precisely 10:30 AM, taken with a combination of juices followed by a cup of coffee. Bathroom break number 1 or 2, a change of garments, and five minutes of walking before placing her on her rocker is mandatory, she then will doze off on her rocker for two hours 11:30 – 1:30, snacks at 1:30 PM, a combination of green, lettuce tomato carrots celery onions bell peppers mixed with balsamic vinaigrette dressings.

Caribbean Cuisine for A Caribbean Lady:

The six o'clock alarm sounds louder each morning: Beckoning me to start the day which I must. I jumped into the shower, my eyes now wide open: A quick brush and slide into my waiting garments. I must not be late or can tarry being on the schedule: Dippy toe into her bedroom, peeking at her face. She smiles at me and reaches out to touch my cheek. Whispering to my God with a joyous melody on my lips.

Personality:

Therese Atkins has the nicest smile and is always in good humor daily, she is always willing to try and help herself whenever something is being done to her, and given the right diet, Therese has no problem cleaning her plate. Therese struggles to walk anytime someone helps her to exercise, she has a tremendous capacity to fight her pains and sometimes suffers in silence. Therese still thinks in her mind, that she can perform all the above physical conditions mentioned, which makes one marvel at that gal, bless her heart. Therese Prior Condition By now you have gotten a small picture of Therese Atkins's prior condition, which brings me back to today and her present condition. Well, I thought I would have more to tell you, I thought Therese would decrease in capacity and worsen to the point of taking her back to the hospital, but that is not the case here, she shows me that only God can heal, yes readers and friends health-wise, she is just like you and me with her ups and downs, next month will be the anniversary of the shunt placed in Therese's head if the Lord is willing I will get back to telling you about her progress, may the Lord bless you all, continuing observation on her progress I have to report that Therese is doing quite well health-wise, however, she is deteriorating in her mental capacity, some of the new things portrayed at this time by Therese are.

Personality Continues:

Her Memory is failing she periodically stares into space while eating her meals, and she keeps the utensils that she has in her right hand, right next to her mouth, without any motion at all, She pokes at the food item on her plate repeatedly before scooping it into her mouth, she is not articulate and soils her dress due to spooning incorrect mouth motion. Sometimes which is very rarely she gets irritated with herself but shoves off the attitude when someone approaches her with loving tender concern and care, her sleep pattern is off, she may lie on her bed motionless for hours without napping, and only fall asleep during the wee hours of the morning. She drinks less fluid of any kind, and refuses to eat anything after dinner, but enjoys a cup of beverage tea, or coffee, her smile is still to die for, and those small inheritances that she now portrays can be overcome with constant vigil care, and a calm approach to each situation, in my opinion for someone living with a tube in their head, it's not normal and will not function normally, so precaution and tender loving care is the key to each symptom and each day of her life events. I begin each day with a routine and stick to the schedule as best as I can, I suppose to each one of you your schedule routine will be different, so it is pointless me telling you what to do in your present situation.

Life With A Shunt Eating Habits:

EMOTIONAL SUPPORT: Whether you know it or not if you are caring for someone with hydrocephalus you are not alone there is an institution that you can reach out to for help, but the most important is the family and emotional factors for you and the family must be considered that is why sharing the responsibilities is recommended and needed

Physical Condition:

Cerebral Shunt well over one year now, sometime between 2022 and 2023, during this time frame I have documented her progress or failures in the hope that this on-hand observation will benefit anyone who has a loved one, going through the same journey, yes sir it is a journey at that and quite an adventure. When I left off Therese was nearing her 77 birthday, about three months shy of her 77 birthday, I had just taken her to see her physician for a six-month check-up, her x rays showed significant progress, and the surgery which was done to her head had been properly heal, this is a blessing indeed from Jehovah God. Therese Atkins has in the past several major strokes, she has been hospitalized as an outpatient at two major hospitals, the first stroke left her paralyzed and unable to walk, while the second compound things, her arms limbs, and muscles lost most of their functions, also her speech pattern became blurred and over a time she lost the ability to talk. Therese Atkins is alive and well but unable to perform her daily sanitary measures, she is not able to clothe herself, and she bites and chews her food, her swallowing is OK, but she needs help with holding the utensils, she needs help going to the rest room, also cleaning after every potty break, and grooming herself. Those are some of the Therese drawbacks, there are other things she is unable to perform or do, and this is within a personal scope of privacy to her.
