PAIN MEDS FOR PROPER EVALUATION OF MY CONDITION! THAT IS DEFINITELY NOT WHAT SHE SAID TO US! MY HUBBY HAS REQUESTED A COPY OF THE LETTER STATING THAT FACT!

Perhaps someone out there can remember when I had to finally put my hubby in a NH due to his combativeness. After 3 months he finally stopped it and only grabs things and won't let go when he is taken out of bed or put into it.

He has tol...1 Recommendation11 Comments -

Tomorrow I go to the spine surgeon to discuss the ct scan. Last time I had surgery I was suppose to have someone spend the night with me. My hubby had a gout attack and he went to the doctor and she sent...1 Recommendation12 Comments

Another horrible night last night. It seems to be happening every 3 days. More fighting, more yelling and no closer to a solution. I seem to be the "enemy". I am spending the day today researching all of the meds that my husband takes. I will keep you posted, wish me luck1 Recommendation3 Comments
