Re: not coping

Me too @outlander 💖

Been watching the NRL footy tonight. Mixed loyalties with this one. My brother supports Rabbitohs and my Son-in-law the Eels. Looks like Bunnies will prevail this time. My Raiders won unexpectedly last night ... so Im happy about that.

Thanks @outlander for telling me about your Nans and yours Emergency Book system. Its a good one, and I really should do similar. At present .... all that information is safely retained in my head. Which is no good to anyone if Im not here.

Emelia 💝

Re: not coping

Im glad your raiders won @Emelia8 i dont follow sports at all anymore not really even the horses when thr Olympics come around.

The book is good for specialists too or anyone that you have to rattle of his conditions or what meds his on etc. When life gets to much usually its to hard to just remember it.

My nan use to have a medication book where each day she would write down the names of her meds and then in another column would write the time she had them. She had asthma and was on the nebuliser with 2 diff meds in it so she would down what one/s she had and what time

Re: not coping

It’s a good idea @outlander We should all have one just to be prepared.

I am getting tired but I like being here with you both.

i watched the footy @Emelia8 but I didn’t care who won tonight. I’m happy for you that the Raiders won Em, you needed a win this weekend.

Re: not coping

Thanks @Eve7 ... yes I did need that win last night. And I also enjoy your company too, and that of @outlander @Anastasia @Snowie @Sans911

@outlander I have a list of all hubbys medications, which his GP prints out. Though its rarely up to date. I write alongside each med which condition they were prescribed for and by which specialist. So many people need to know that these days, even his dentist. So I am constantly updating it as each change is made.

Just as an indication ... half an hour prior to breaky I give him 1 tablet. After breakfast he gets his bulk morning batch of 10 tabs and capsules. Half hour before lunch he gets 1 tablet. After lunch he gets 2 other tabs. At arvo tea time he gets another 1/2 tablet. Half hour prior to dinner he gets another 1 tablet. After dinner he gets bulk evening tablets of 9. Half hour prior to bed he gets 1 more tablet. Bedtime ... then it all starts again the next morning. 😳
