My partner and I have separate calendars and I put everything he needs on his. He has no idea what day it is, what month and what date. He's a night worker and forgets everything. He can hire a dvd with no idea he rented it maybe a month earlier. Takes him about 30 minutes to work it out...
Well I used to mock him something terrible for his memory.
Now he helps me out...
I haven't a bloomin' clue what's happening most of the time !! How liberating it is too !!!
I vividly recall setting up a syringe driver for the last night of a patients life and not being able to hold things properly. I commented I had gotten clumsy recently.. and that was the beginning for me. I hate lying to colleagues too and hiding my clumsyness and dropsies.
