So my hubby had to take over our finances and I get that. I messed things up but he still left me with my Sam's account. Q e order two times in a year. We work together on the list. Part of the delivery came in today and it seems I ordered many orders. I don't remember and was positive I didn't but he checked and I did. I had 5 separate orders I am so upset. He is too he didn't want to remove everything from my control but now what. Also heading for a check in with neurologist this should be good. If I wasn't so sad I would've laugh.

Wishing all a good day

With my diagnosis my wife had to take over my finances (we have been married only 6 years we each had our own accounts ). since the diagnosis if I want to buy something on line I have to get her o.k. to make sure that it is really a needed item that had a monthly requirement and I did not know it.

Do whatever you can to make your life easier. You don't need added stress.

Boy, this isn't easy! I am realizing I need to turn money matters over to my son! As a widow of over 15 years I have done everything on my own, but I am no longer feel able to handle my own money! I gave up driving a few months ago, but the good news is I am walking a mile or more several times a week.

It wasn't easy to give up my finances but i realized that it was best but it was the right thing to do.

At least none of it has expiration dates well in the near future also we have 12 bags of coffee so I'm going to say we're good for a while I hope everyone is having a good day today

I feel relief knowing DH is handling the finances. I have always taken a long time deciding on purchases. Now that particular slowness is helpful.

I do wish he would help me with shopping lists. I frequently forget that we don't have a particular food & then we get home & discover that we did need olive oil. But we laugh together. One of his very attractive attitudes is his ability to find humor in life. I want to always be positive & enjoy life. I let him know that is my 'Goal' & I appreciate his help. Always.

I am relieved too that hubby is doing our finances now. I'm just upset that I thought I would be okay handling one account and now realizing that I need to let all the accounts go to him.

I am very happy for you that you have such a wonderful DH.

Today I gave up control of my medications. I was taking one for me not to have hallucinations { in the morning} and I should have been taking it at night so my wife has taken control of my medications.

Taking medications can be tricky, so this sounds like a good idea.

It was hard to give my meds to my wife but it was the right thing to do.

I still manage my meds but they are packaged by the pharmacy but I have mixed up the bubble packs so if it happens again my hubby will have to take that on too. I hate how much is on his plate because of this horrible disease. 😞

Oh, my. I have a hard time with mine. I had 9, when I woke up. 1 with breakfast. 2 with dinner & I don't remember how many at bedtime. I have a couple of bottles that say Morning & Bedtime. I have the daily thing & even 4 different times a day to take the Rx on the 'big holder'. I still forget. I forgot all my BP pills until dinner & said something I think I learned from my Navy kids, & decided I would take them at night. I babbled on, to say that you are not alone. Not by a long shot!

Thank you for reminding me, you are right we are not alone,so glad I found this group. Sometimes this disease makes me feel alone in the fight from my end even though I know my hubby is right beside me.
