LOL I would probably be having the same problem except the VA is real good about sending reminder letters, they have a reminder phone call a few days before, plus they have an app where I can look at all my appointments.

@Karen-x , Sorry you experienced this! Unfortunately, for years I tried to blame my brain farts on MS until my Neurologist gently reminded me that in addition to my MS, I am now a Senior Citizen! I need to repeat and double check everything!

Karen-x Thank God for reminder calls for my appointments because I am always off, lol. Sometimes I have the right date but the wrong appointment or the dates are just off. I don't know what I would do without those reminder calls. Now I put the appointments on the calendar on my phone right away before it leaves my memory forever.

Wish I knew how to put them on my phone! I have a new one and still haven't figured out how to get the voicemail set up where I can have the icon on my home screen yet! For now, I just have the "1" number on speed dial ;-/

Oh no Karen-x gotta love it! Or hate it! Or both! I don't know, but if l don't laugh at myself l would lose it.

My appts are in my phone, tablet, the wall calendar and the wipe off board.😐 And I have gotten so good at procrastinating that l have no appt!😁

Karen-x , I told everyone I had an appointment on the10th at 9:00 A.M., but it was on the 9th at 10:00 A.M. That's why I'm not in charge of the spreadsheets.

Oh like some else said you can't blame it on the MS. I did this one time when I was working, I took the whole day off and went into the doctors office and was shocked when they told me I had the wrong date can I say the wrong month. I was so mad with my self. I told my sister this and she said you know that isn't the MS your getting older I was a little upset I was trying to blame it on the MS. So don't feel bad your not alone. :).
