Hi All (again)
I'm hoping you can help me again? This week seems to have thrown everything at us and I'm struggling a bit.
Dad has started to either hold or chew his tablets when I give them to him. Sadly, he does have a fair few to take. Yesterday I found it particularly stressful as he seems to understand less and less of whaut it I say to him and I couldn't make him understand to use the water to swallow them.
I have bought a tablet crusher but am wondering what methods to use to give the tablets to him. I tried it in a glass of Complan but it took him all day to drink it. I tried it in a small glass of milk but they stuck to the bottom and I'm afraid that he wasn't getting the benefit of them. I tried this morning to mix into some jam but he refused point blank to take it.
Has anybody got any advice??
Sorry I feel like I've really mithered this week but I'm really stressed
Thanks in advance xx
