Apparently as people get older they “become easily dehydrated because their thirst signal can be diminished”. I need to print that out and show it to my mom, I don’t know if she drinks enough and I worry about her.

Of all things she said she did not like water. I had to continually urge her to drink water. She passed away 8 years ago at 83. I love water. Wherever I am sitting there is a glass beside me. A glass beside my bed at night. When I am in the yard, on the porch or in the car I always have a bottle of water with me. So guess this senior will not have thirst signals.
