Guest guest Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 My memory is also bad. It scares me cuz I still am the one who handles the checkbook, bills, all the paperwork. Hubby is in denial of how bad it is. I've made some whoppers of mistakes in the checkbook, forgot to pay bills, etc. I have been trying to work ahead of things so when I go through bad spells I have enough done ahead of time to cover myself. As soon as the weather got colder the pain in my arms started up again and it gets so bad I can't think straight. Those pain creams, melted hot wax machine, etc. help a bit. But my thinking slows down when the pain is acting up so I prepare ahead of time the best I can but you can only do so much. I stock up on all the cold medicines, kleenex, cough drops in case one of the guys get sick. It's not like I can run to the store and get the stuff. I haven't driven a car in almost ten years. Who can drive when my hands go numb or are in tremendous pain. I pray for help and sometimes the answer is to just slow down, cut back or just lay still and rest. We just learn to cope...over time. S. Life is short...live it to the fullest...to your last living breath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
