England 4
This morning I listed all my brother-in-law’s drugs and all my sister’s drugs at his request. I typed them into the computer and made three large-print copies for various places around the house. Then I also made him wallet-sized copies . Fred and I have found this very useful. When one gets to the doctor and is asked what medications are being taken, I don’t know about you, but my mind goes perfectly blank… The other good thing about having them in the computer is that it is very easy to erase and/or add drugs. I made these lists and put them in a folder on the desk top. Now all Toby has to do is click on the folder and then click on whatever one needs to be changed. Oh, and I also put their new printer as the default printer so no one has to click around to get to it.
Robbie seems to be comfortable today. She was awake when I asked her about the printer and seemed pleased when I was able to change the default. I looked in about an hour ago and she was sleeping but not thrashing around. The home help lady was in earlier and asked for my help in lifting her to a sitting position and together we were able to make her more comfortable. She is not eating much but she is eating.
I have been for one walk today and will go for another after lunch.
Number of Steps on the pedometer for yesterday: 9162
Yes, I knew I was very close to the magic number when I got back from my second walk, and I was too tired to care…
That is very helpful of you to do that. 🙂

You are VERY thoughtful – that’s exactly what my mother does with her medications, and her doctors & nurses are always SO pleased when she hands them a nice, clear list! 🙂

I feel like such a dunce — I handprinted our medicine lists. Argh! Patricia, I’m glad you were able to help make your sister comfortable and I’m sure you’re being there is a comfort in itself. Way to go on walking. I hereby award you the bonus points to make it to 10,000, because you were so darned close.

Hospice is good, on many levels. However difficult this trip, it is good also. Blessings.
