Penthesilea:
How about those really big thermoses, whith a big button to push?




Almost the whole top part is a big, round button. You can push it with the heel of the hand. They hold 2 liters. If you put two of them on the kitchen table each morning, that should be more than enough. I don't know how much it is in gallons, but no person can drink more than four liters of milk a day.
She could sit down at the table and have both hands free to pour it (push the button and hold the cup beneath the snout).

There are also cups with handles on both side, so she could safely hold it while drinking.

delalluvia:
Another awesome idea, Penthesilea, thanks.

serious crayons:
Sounds like you could use some respite, Del. Does your sister help?

Kelda:
Or Home Helps? To get her snacks etc? Obviously I'm thinking from a UK NHS perspective?

Are their neighbous who may pop in to check on her?

Anyway, she stomped around in her walker, cursing and ranting and throwing things.

  The meltdowns occur on average twice a week.

Della, I think you might need more than a solution for the milk problem.
