DR. APPOINTMENT....

The last few mornings were touch and go...... Tom was waking up with a meanness in him.....each morning being a little worse.

I emailed the Dr. ahead of time for his appointment yesterday.  While at the clinic Tom sneered and made fun of people.....threatened to leave a few times and than he was serious and was going to leave.

So I went to the front desk and alerted them we have an Alz. patient ready to make his escape.  They laughed like he wasn't the first and got him in a room.......

There I felt a little closed in with this attitudey  guy...... I tried cracking jokes and that only pissed him off worse.   He sat and told me all the reasons he didn't like me.  I t was hard not to laugh at this guy who was in this cracker box of a room with me.....

The Dr. finally appeared ........ what a lovely sight to behold....... We went through Tom's meds and questions were asked....and answered.  Most everything going over Toms head.... I never know what ideas he will leave the room with as his perception of what was said.

His risperdal was upped and I sang "Glory Hallelujah!!!!"  LOL

"GET ME HOME!!!!"  was all he had to say when we left.  Later I heard him tell his sister his version of what the Dr. said.

He loves his Dr.  which helps and he walked away with that "he needed to take all his prescribed pills and not worry about all the side effects they list on the internet because most of that isn't true.  He even showed us his little computer thing and it didn't show any side effects...... and the Dr. said he was in A-ONE shape!

If that's what he got out of the appointment...it works for me.  I won't have to crush and hide his pills in his food than...... : )

Tom still thinks he IS going camping and trapping by himself in unknown territory.....
THE VERY WORST SCENARIO ......... I go with him........and baby it's cold outside!
