I feel so awful for my mom. As he gets older, he battles more plus more health problems… She developed thyroid problems recently on top of dealing with diabetes. As if that cannot get any worse, she’s going through menopause plus experiences so many difficult symptoms from it! The worst symptom for his is the recurring hot flashes. She told me that he can manage everything else, but the hot flashes are totally out of his control. At any random moment, my mother can go from comfortable to dripping with sweat from a hot flash. She has even felt this in the middle of winter season while kneeling outside in a blizzard. My Mom is trying so difficult to find ways to help her, however he started off by purchasing a few fans for around the apartment plus a small fan for his toil desk. Those did not actually do much. Then he installed small window cooling units, but these weren’t actually effective. Finally, he decided to look into updating the Heating, Ventilation, plus A/C system entirely. He chose zone heating because this would allow him to set individual rooms to particular uneven temperatures. This meant that my mom could keep one room cool at all times plus this would be his safe haven. I thought my Mom was deranged to go to such dire measures at first, despite the fact that I quickly realized that this provided my mom what he needed. I am so thankful that my Mom has found a way to bring his comfort, even if it required a hefty investment. She deserves to be comfortable during these difficult times in his life!
