Missed the MRI call

 I understand it's up to me to be on top of everything now, but it is so frustrating!

Rob got some paperwork from the Ministry about his driver's license, I read it over and you only needed to submit the forms if the doctor has cleared him to return to driving. He was convinced that it meant he could get his license back right now.

But what he didn't tell me is that he also got a form from his insurance about his short-term disability that the doctor had to fill out.

So, he finally tells me a week later about the form, I fill it out and rush it over to the doctor's office on Thursday, only to find they are closed till Monday - and the form has to be returned to the insurance company on Monday.

Then, as we are going to bed last night, I checked the house phone for messages, which I guess reminded him to check his messages on his cell phone.

He had a saved message (which means he already listened to it) from 8:24 AM that morning from the booking dept for his MRI - but it's now Friday night and they said we could only call back Monday to Friday.

I have already told the memory clinic (who submitted the MRI requisition form) to PLEASE use my cell number for our main contact - I can't keep on top of all this, if it's left to him to tell me.

Then he goes to bed furious with me because apparently, I accused him of never checking his messages - when all I did was copy down the phone number to return the call - I never said anything about the call to him.

And he was angry long before he checked his messages.

Also, the memory clinic has frequently asked if he is having trouble using appliances. I have always said, no, he seems fine. This week he has struggled both with using the washing machine and the oven.

I feel like this is all happening so fast!

Conversations with Rob

 Rob:  Where's the relish?? Did you forget to buy some? Me: Yes, I bought a bottle, is it not in the fridge? Rob: No, I looked and it's not! Me: Not in the pantry? Rob: No, it's not there! Me: Well, I am sure I bought one. Soon the whole family is hunting everywhere for the relish. So strange, where could it have gone?? Well, I found the relish. It was on the counter, right next to his hotdogs - where HE put it, right before sending us all hunting for the relish!

All About Rob

  You asked me to let you know what you need to watch for with Rob. I really do not like to talk about him, when he is listening. He gets upset, and then I have to deal with his anger. I prefer to keep him happy as much as possible, That can be a full-time job in itself. Since he will be in a familiar place, he will probably be just fine. Changes in his routine can get him agitated, but most of the time he is pretty good. Most of the time he is quite jolly, can be the "life of the party", which is not who he used to be! LOL If he does get agitated, he might simply refuse to talk to anyone. I have learned to ignore him when he gets like that, and he usually gets over it. Other times, he has suddenly stormed out of the house and taken off. Fortunately I have a Life360 app on my phone, that I can track him, and know where he is. I usually just let him come home when he is ready. Sometimes, if he gets frustrated about being unable to figure out how to do something he used to be a...

More June Updates

We had a ton of logs and kindling piled up over the years that Rob had cut up, from fallen branches and dead trees. I decided to offer it for free on a FB Free Stuff site and told Rob that my son and I had moved the logs and kindling out to the driveaway to make it easier for people to pick up. It took 4 people with cars, and another with a pickup truck to haul it all away! Rob was convinced someone was going to walk up our driveway with a match and set it all on fire.
