Oh Sharron, I don't envy you the drops routine. My OH had both eyes done one after the other . He now still has to have drops in one eye for another problem every day for the rest of his life, Oh Joy :-(

Sharron

OH had great difficulty putting those drops in ................ so I had to do most of them for him

He's been retired 9 years, but still has 2 offices out on campus, and goes in there 4 or 5 days a week .......................... so he HAD to do the lunchtime drops himself. OR persuade one of his colleagues to do it for him.



HE made ME put my own in when I had my cararacts done back in 2001. Refused point-blank to help me :-P :-D

Well yours were much easier I expect!

I have made a sort of chart and anybody who puts his drops in initials it or ticks it so I can keep on top of the procedure.

Just waiting for the alarm to do the next lot.

4 times a day

3 or 4 lots of drops

to be done for up to 4 weeks, or until the specialist says stop?



is that your regime?????



I made a chart when I was doing mine ................ OH just put ticks on a piece of paper!

One lot is six times a day for a period of time and the other is four times a day for a different period of time and then they are both for different numbers of times.

The hardest part of being a carer for me is the bloody organizing.

I really can see why so many people keep stroke victims in bed and don't get them out and doing.

So much detail, so little brain to cope with it!
