I care for my hubby and attend all his appointments due to 1. I take him 2. His meds make him drowsy 3. I know what is happening.

Due to the involvement of multi agency health care profs involvement and seeing different doctors frequently my involvement helps continuity of care for my hubby.

Anniehb,

I've been in your shoes. I admire and respect care partners who are so fully involved and dedicated to the health and welfare of their loved one. It seems like a thankless job at times, but hang in there. You're doing a wonderful job. Thank you for sharing a piece of your and your husband's story.
