Elderberry Syrup Recipe Ingredients 1 cup dried organic Elderberries 4 cups Filtered Water 2 inch knob chopped organic Ginger Peel of 1 organic Lemon (try not to get any of the white pith) 2 organic Cinnamon Sticks 9 organic Cloves Add After Pressure Cooking and Cooling 3/4 - 1 cup organic Raw Honey Juice of 1 organic Lemon Instructions Add all ingredients except the honey and lemon juice to the inner liner of the pressure cooker. Place lid on and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position. Press the Pressure Cook (or Manual) button or dial and then the +/- button or dial and select 15 minutes. When the cook cycle finishes, turn off the pot so it doesn't go to the Warmingsetting. Let it fully Naturally Release the pressure. Open the lid and take out the inner pot and strain the liquid into a glass bowl to cool. Optional Step: Turn on the Sauté setting to the LOW temperature. Let the syrup simmer and reduce for 5 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until desired thickness is achieved (I personally do not reduce mine). When cool, about room temp, add the honey and whisk until fully incorporated (if you add the honey to hot syrup, it will kill off the good properties of the raw honey). Add the juice of 1 lemon and whisk. Taste and add more honey if you like it sweeter, or more lemon if you like it tart. Transfer the elderberry syrup to a bottle or mason jar with a lid and refrigerate for up to 2 months.

還有一種心理調適是:告訴自己慢一點或晚一點也沒關係。 比方我剛煮好了自己和爺爺的晚餐，熱騰騰的端上去，邊走上樓梯，卻聞到好像是便便的味道，這時候我要趕快告訴自己，沒關係，慢慢來，先把爺爺處理乾淨舒服，飯放冷一點再吃也沒關係。因為通常越氣急敗壞的處理問題的時候，我發現爺爺都很緊張和緊崩，處理起來更不順；當我放輕鬆，慢慢處理的時候，爺爺反而能配合的比較好。
以上是我的一些心得分享，當然每個人不一樣，都有最適合自己的調適方式。我本身沒小孩，可以專注在爺爺身上，如果要照著孩子又要看護老人，那真的感覺很辛苦，可能需要多一些助力，比如請personal care assistant或其他家庭成員分擔。
聽的讓我真心動！感覺也很適合獨居老人！
你真是不容易。以前小孩中文学校的老师说过她回台湾照顾父亲，就觉得太难了，你的情况更是辛苦。体力的辛苦可以花钱找人分担，心理上的必须自己承担了。当初我父亲生病的时候我回去照顾，老人的固执有时候真的很让人崩溃，何况你爷爷的情况更糟糕
謝謝，妳也辛苦了，老人家要是固執，真的是更耗費心力。每個照護者身後都有不為人知的心酸吧！
我爺爺也用導尿管，不過是straight catheter，每天抽兩到三次。
我每天都有給他吃一顆有cranberry 的益生菌，有urinary tract support. 我選women raw probiotic 因為裡面有cranberry 成分。下面是link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B084YZZ5Y9?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_image
還有就是要補充足夠水分，至少早晚一杯水，食物也可以盡量選擇增強水分攝取的，比如蒸蛋，鹹稀飯、小米粥等。我爺爺要是水喝不夠多，就容易會有尿血發炎的情況，通常我就趕快加強他的水分攝取，幾天後就會好轉。
插尿管過程也一定要消毒好，如果有護士專門幫忙是很好，若沒有，一定要戴好手套，好好用紅藥水消毒要插尿管的地方，尿管要上lubricant，插尿管的過程要緩慢。這些都可以幫助減少感染發炎機率。
赞。

谢谢mm，非常有帮助，请问有什么lubricant推荐吗？
這是我爺爺保險有給付的lubricant，裡面是一小包一小包的，可以問問看保險有沒有cover
的確，如果有的話就好了！高齡社會以後應該有更多的這樣的需求，如果可以共同分享資訊，我想是會很有幫助的。
楼主太赞了
太谢谢mm了，mm真是心善
楼主人善手巧。会有福报的。
这个一定要保存。
