Dear Annie: Readers share perspective on dealing with loved ones and dementia – OregonLive

Dear Annie: I read with interest and sadness the letter from “Forgotten Daughter,” who believes her mom is developing dementia or Alzheimer’s disease like their grandfather had. I know this process firsthand. My maternal grandmother had this dreaded disease, and now my mom has it. Like the writer’s mom, my mom showed signs earlier than her parents did. I agree with your advice that it is important to get the person to see their doctor. However, they should know that it is often difficult to get the loved one to agree, because they believe (or want to believe) there is nothing wrong with them. It is also important to see a doctor who is knowledgeable about dementia, or you can end up worse off than you started. Finally, as to the loved one telling the same stories over and over, and the...

A Woman Who Moved In With R. Kelly When She Was 17 Said She Was Abused, Degraded, and Forced To Get An Abortion – BuzzFeed News

BROOKLYN, New York — A 23-year-old woman testified about the five-year relationship she had with R. Kelly on Monday, describing in emotional and graphic detail the abuse and degradation Kelly allegedly used to control her — including forcing her to have an abortion. The woman, who identified herself in court using the pseudonym Jane, said she met Kelly in 2015 when she was a 17-year-old aspiring singer looking for mentorship. Instead, she found herself wrapped up in what federal prosecutors have described as an abusive sex cult. She spoke — at times through tears — about how Kelly would allegedly punish her for breaking the authoritarian “rules” he had for his “girlfriends” on how they were to dress and act, and even when they could use the bathroom. Her testimony, which is ...

Becky Lynch made the request to turn heel at WWE SummerSlam – Wrestling News

There is a lot of anger being directed at WWE by the fans who are not happy about Becky Lynch turning heel. While it’s true that Vince McMahon wanted her to go heel a few years ago, the decision to have her turn this time was hers. Dave Meltzer reported today that the heel turn was something she requested. Lynch returned at SummerSlam to a massive reaction and then defeated Bianca Belair in less than 30 seconds to win the SmackDown Women’s Championship. Some have compared this heel turn to Steve Austin’s turn in 2001 that led to the decline in business. Ironically, it was Austin who made the request to turn heel because he thought that his character was getting stale. The booking of Belair left many fans bewildered and even Nikki Bella expressed unhappiness over the way Belair was booked...

Fauci predicts good control over COVID-19 by fall of 2022 if overwhelming majority get vaccinated – Yahoo News

Dr. Anthony Fauci quickly walked back his prediction Monday that in one year, by the fall of 2022, the United States can get control of COVID-19. During an appearance on CNN, President Joe Biden's chief medical adviser offered an apology, claiming he misspoke and meant to say that ideal is within reach by the spring of 2022, but only if people holding out on getting vaccines decide to get the jab. "No, Anderson, I have to apologize," he told anchor Anderson Cooper. "When I listened to the tape, I meant to say the spring of 2022, so I did misspeak. And in the conversation with Mary Louise Kelly, she was saying, when do I think we can get some control? I said if we can get through this winter and get really the overwhelming majority of the 90 million people who have not been vaccinated, vac...

Denver frontline workers taking a stand against city’s vaccine mandate – FOX 31 Denver

DENVER (KDVR) – Some Denver frontline workers and first responders insist they will not get vaccinated, even if it means losing their jobs. FOX31’s Deborah Takahara spoke to Denver police officers, firefighters and local nurses who did not want to be identified, but wanted to stand together and share their opinions. They all stressed they are not anti-vaccine. They just want to be able to make their own choices. They did not want to be identified out of fear of retribution. Earlier this month, the City of Denver announced that it will require all city employees and contract workers to be fully vaccinated by Sept. 30 as a condition of employment. Denver police officer files for religious exemption “I’ve spoken personally with about a dozen officers that are read...

Florida doctor ‘walkout’ spawns online fight over obesity & Covid-19 vaccination. Turns out it was fake news – RT

A publicity stunt by Florida doctors to promote Covid-19 vaccination triggered a political flame war about obesity and ethics of denying medical care to people, and all because the media sensationally reported it as a “walkout.” Around 75 of doctors and nurses in Palm Beach gathered outside their hospital early on Monday to talk to local TV news crews, arguing that they are seeing double the number of coronavirus patients from last year and that most of them were unvaccinated adults. They urged the community to get vaccinated, because they’re “exhausted” and their “patience and resources are running low,” in the words of one doctor. MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” show presented the event as a “walkout” in protest of Florida’s coronavirus hospitalizations. A two-minute clip from the...
