I was shopping for a nursing home for my unresponsive, immovable, uninterested. Husband of 78 years. For six months he had gone into a deep depression, lost 45 pounds, but was perfectly healthy. Diagnosed with "failure to thrive", I was ready to sell our house and move into a nursing facility with him. He had been troubled with memory problems since a cerebral aneurysm in 1985, but seemed to cope fairly well. No longer. He wouldn't, or couldn't, remember to take the meds I laid out for him daily: Antidepressant, memory, etc.
About the time I arranged for Home Health Care, his Lion's Mane arrived from Mushroom Matrix. I put the Lion's Mane into his Ensure, without telling him; then insisted he drink the whole thing.
Home Health care helped with his ability to walk, which he did when they were with him. He didn't walk at other times, staying in his recliner, on Facebook and Solitaire. I, of course, was run ragged, so discouraged at his lack of progress. I was stunned, when he declared he was hungry, and asked if I wanted to take a walk with him! This was about 10 days after he had started taking Lion's Mane, though he had no idea he was taking the mushroom. That was the start of my husband's road back to the man I know and love. He still had some depression, so his doctor changed his antidepressant. The new medication seemed to reinforce the recovery that Lion's Mane had started.
This new and improved man now makes sure he takes his Lion's Mane at breakfast each day. He usually makes breakfast! He hasn't yet finished his first container of Lion's Mane, and we have toured a dozen Retirement Communities nearby. Together we decided we were tired of taking care of our three bedroom home with its large lot and gardens. ***** had pretty well isolated us from so many people - and so many of our friends had died - Moving to a nearby Independent Living facility would keep us close to our children and grandchildren, bring us nearer our medical community, and provide a community and activities to continue enriching our lives. We're both involved in getting our home ready to sell. Oy! Fifty-four years and four generations of memories keep us busy and laughing at what packrats we've been. But we'll have our home cleared out and ready to sell just as it's paid off next year. Our children and grandchildren are so delighted and greatly relieved at my husband's miraculous recovery! We know they had visions of having to do all this for us! God is so good and led us to Mushroom Matrix! Thank you!!
