worried....

so the last few days have been rough...husband's memory is getting worse..he's either forgetting to take his meds or just not wanting to take them...which in turn is making his anger and depression worse...his case manager(he got a new one) has been no help at all..which sucks because she's suppose to be his biggest help and well she's not...its frustrating to feel like we're starting back over trying to get him the help for his PTSD...we get over one hill just to find a bigger one behind it...his counseling isnt doing as much either but really they have true veterans with PTSD in a group with soldiers that just cant cut it in the army...guys that have never gone anywhere...but basic..ait and well to ft riley...our next option is for the husband to go to the VA hospital in topeka for a 7 week program...he'd be inpatient there and get to come home on the weekend, which sucks because he doesnt function well without me around for some reason...

today was a scary day...i got home from work and husband was sleeping..which is not unusual because of his meds..but he slept 4 hrs..woke up thinking it was tomorrow morning..he couldnt remember what he had done today...it took him about 40 mins to remember small things..so now i'm worried about leaving him and if this happens again...i'm just glad tomorrow is my last day of work for the summer...because i'll be able to go to appts and stuff again..i love my job but i feel bad because i cant go with my husband to all his appts...and really i need to work...not sure what to do most days...

i guess thats it for now...i'm sure there will be more by saturday...we have a few appt tomorrow and friday...

hello may!

yeah! a new month has arrived...john has finally inprocessed into the WTB and now has plenty of support from the staff with his appts and all that fun stuff...which will be a huge help in the next few months..he has to see a neuro doctor in a couple weeks and he has to go back to see his doctor to get some more blood work done up...hopefully next week we'll finally get the results of his brain scan...without any major computer issues..or anything else...

in 2 weeks our daughter turns 16yrs old...she's gonna have some friends spending the night..which should be interesting...in our little housing unit...and i know her big brother will be hiding out in his room..lol...and i'm sure john will be there too...
