Thankyou for your support thoughts...ye...Hi Kelly,<br /><br />Thankyou for your support thoughts...yes, I think the salt thing is something to do with age and needing a stronger taste - it's the reason many older people eat sweet stuff too...<br />But Okaasan will never ever go to a hospital for anything...so we may never know!<br /><br />Welcome to the blog - this living with another generayion stuff is interesting....Oyome-sanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00658655347848108222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998844447617430892.post-7818328377533414202010-02-15T20:46:42.464+09:002010-02-15T20:46:42.464+09:00Hi, I've just found your blog and have been re...Hi, I've just found your blog and have been reading all the back posts. I wanted to comment on your MIL and the salt thing because my mum went through the same thing after she got older. She is now 67 but when she was around 65 she got really sick and every time we gave her food she said it tasted yucky and there wasn't enough pepper or salt. Finally she was hospitalised and they said it was her kidneys that made her tastebuds change as the kidneys weren't working properly and it affected her whole system.<br /><br />I'm not saying your MIL has a problem with her kidney but this sounds so familiar to what I went through with my own mum. It could be just something old people go through, or as you say, might be a side effect of alzheimers.<br /><br />It's frustrating to say the least, when you know you have cooked good tasting food and they say "oh yuck, can't eat this". <br /><br />I really sympathise with you in that respect. <br /><br />I just thought I would put my two cents in and tell you that you are not alone. :)<br /><br />I will carry on reading through your posts. :)<br /><br />Kelly xxKelly Azumahttp://kellyazuma.comnoreply@blogger.com
