Pls HELP: Low water input High medication intake ; loves to take medication ea and coffee juice ice cream?

Hi All


My mom had her operation about 5 years back


Shes ok now.Her left side carotid vein artery was clipped as she had swelling and burts in the same as a result of stroke.


The operation was done in AIIMS and she is under medication since then for BP and takes 9 medicines in a day


My question is SHE DOES NOT DRINK WATER - how to make her drink water or what other substitues can be given to her ?


Excess juice ( which she loves may cause diabetes we fear )


Dad passed away due to diabetes. All she has is 3 glasses because you have dinner, lunch and breakfast in a day .1 up cofee and 2 glasses of tea and 1 glass tea


Thats her liquid intake. Shes adamant at times to go out and leaves no chance to go out and mix with people


She has trouble in getting sleep and worries about small things - %26quot;is the door locked%26quot;, %26quot;get me an ice cream ( shell repeat till she confirmed and convinced you will get her a cup of ice cream ) etc. . She hates to exercise and do yoga or walk


Pls HELP|||Motivation %26amp; proper counselling is the answer.


She does not listen to u. Find a person whom she believes the most %26amp; ask him to explain the hazards of less intake of water.If u fail a psychiatric can help u- because they are people who can convince any patient after judging their psychological aspect.
