Dads visiting nurse just called me and is getting him recertified for pt. Well she was going over his meds and I hadnt gotten one of his pills in there. HOW DID I MISS THIS? I always keep them filled!!! I swear I am getting worse and worse at remembering things.. either that or I am just down right losing my mind!!!!!!!!!!!!

((((((( HUGS )))))))) - it happens to us all at one time or another, and even more so when we are dealing with stress or depression. What I personally do to keep up with all the meds is to keep a list saved on my computer and as they change or increase I just go in there and change them and then save..... this way when I need a list I can just print it out.

Hope this HELPS........ (( hugs ))

Love,
