I also use the sticky sheets. I also have a pad of paper right next to my chair so if I think of something I need I write it down right now. I always take a list with me to the store. I also take a list of questions with me to the dr. I forget lot more than I remember. lol

I also print out the medicines and dosages on a card had laminate them. This way when a dr. asks about my meds I just hand him the card. Hey they even get impressed.

Just thought you would like to know. *smile*

[sPAM]Re: adapting from Naa Koshie

This may seem elementary to some, but in order to remember things, as soon as the idea pops into my head I write it down on a sticky note and place it where its most pertinent. Grocery list go on the door jamb of the kitchen cuz if I put it on the fridge I'll forget it when I'm leaving. Lot's of notes get stuck to the front door so that I don't forget things when I'm leaving. We use a huge family calender hung on the wall in the kitchen where we put EVERYTHING on. Son's work schedule for the week, doctor's appts, soccer practice, etc.When I'm having a headache, my daughter's dad has set-up the back porch with a comfy chair, my eye covers, box with medicine to make me feel better. There's also a fan out there because for some reason the "white noise" of the fan soothes me.I just bought a pill box with compartments for the days of the week because sometimes at the end of the day I panic because I can't remember if I took my medication that morning. Costs little, but worth millions in stress relief.Naa KoshieRose <mamadogrose (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote:

My problem is finding the stickies; they crawl away & hide under piles of paper & other stuff. I've even tried running a cord through a small notebook & wearing it around my neck, with a pencil attached! I still managed to lose it. I'd do the old trick of writing stuff on my skin, but even I don't have enough skin for all the notes I write. My mother used to tell me that I wouldn't forget anything if it was important enough. Well, maybe that was true years ago, but it sure ain't true now!

I have always done that too with the everything in a file in my computer. I know how helpful it is to just print it out and go to the drs and hand it to them.. As you said, the nurses especially like the meds. list!
