Less awful is good! That's so good of you to look out for R. I'm so glad your HR is helpful!

Apparently, Rule #7 does not apply.

Well, that's...there must be a word for that. Even more ugh. I have read the whole article now and I would like to start some fires.

Less awful is good! That's so good of you to look out for R.

Yes, but I will admit it's also selfish; if there's less friction with R, there's less need for me to fly back and forth quite as often when I get frantic texts.

Oh, and Dad's neurologist is putting him on a memory drug that should stabilize him a bit. The doc was quick to say it won't make things better, but it may stop them from getting worse for a time. So that's also good, so long as Dad takes it correctly.

I’m glad things were better than they might have been, Pix.

Pix, does he use a smartphone?

The Medisafe app [link] was recommended to me a few months ago, and I find that I like it. I set up my daily medications in it, and now it reminds me when to take them, I can mark off the ones I take, when I take them, so that when I look back later I don't go through the "Wait, did I take that one already today?" confusion any more. I also set up refill reminders in it.

Check it out. You might have to do the set-up for him, but perhaps it could help keep him on track.

Myself, I'm up to eleven different kinds of pill each day, now. Sigh. I need the organizational help.

Thanks, dcp. I looked into the Medisafe app, but the issue is that it's too complex for him. He can't do any type of tech at this point. His caregiver and I stock his pill container (two-weeks with AM and PM slots) for him, and he often can't even understand the difference between the AM and the PM. I have reminders set on his phone to take his morning meds at 7:30 and his night meds at 6, and that works some of the time, but because the reminder lets him "snooze," he sometimes hits the wrong button and then thinks he has to take them again. It's really tricky to find the balance between how tech can help and how it can confuse him more.

Also, I'm sorry you have to take so many meds. I disapprove of aging and illness.

Timelies all!

So Mr. S fell asleep after dinner on the couch yesterday. Amazingly enough, he didn't wake up early.(My brain decided to wake me up a few times this morning. Grrr.) He did claim today was pajama day at school(if it was, we never got the message) and made enough of a fuss that we let him go to school in pajamas.

This child.....:shakes head:

Also, I'm sorry you have to take so many meds. I disapprove of aging and illness.

Indeed.

He did claim today was pajama day at school

Well it should be! In fact I think it should often be pajama day at work too.

I am MISSING pajama day at school Monday and am sad about it.

Also, hugs, Sheryl. I know it's been a hard road with your little one.

Thanks Pix! He's a challenge, that's for sure.

Not surprised by the Christian Kane allegations. My crush on the guy didn't survive actually meeting him back in 2004.

jesus fucking christ can we not have anything nice?

I don't want to jinx anything, but being a fan of Dolly Parton has never let me down.
