I'm sorry to bring this to you all, but I am so worked up I don't know what to do.
My husband is a patient with the VA. His memory is kind of fuzzy and he just depends on me to take care of all the details. I think he CAN do it, but just won't. He is getting his meds mixed up. Part of this is because the VA system is changing some of his meds and not really explaining everything and part is that he is not getting the details straight. He doesn't listen carefully because he has me along to do that. Heaven help me, I am so tired of this. But I know it is my responsibility.
I can barely keep my own meds straight. And I'm tired, tired, tired and in pain and having a hard time keeping myself together.
Just a vent. Maybe someone else can advise me about being a "secretary" to a patient while trying to hold it together in my own illnesses.
