Managing my husband's health while I'm at work is a chore. His memory is awful, particularly right now because the pain is so high and he's on more meds than usual. So everything from when to take the next dose of meds to doctor appointments takes constant reminders. I write it down. He sets alarms. Doesn't matter; he still forgets. The kids are there to help, but they aren't quite as diligent at remembering things as I am either. Sure would be easier if I was home, but work is a thing. He's going to have another surgery probably in the next week or so. His implanted morphine pump has shifted/twisted so it isn't laying flat and is rather uncomfortable. They need to go in and tack it down again; somehow it came loose. Just a day surgery, but another medical saga to put on the menu. We're getting it done now though because he hit his medical out-of-pocket months ago and all of this surgery stuff is covered 100%. Come January 1, those deductibles kick in again.

Just to complicate things, this is concert week. I have 8 concerts in the next 10 days. Busy, busy. Thank goodness our kids are there to assist.
