My SIL called me this evening upon my husband's request.
She has been taking him to acupuncture, which he says is relieving some pain. That is great. Anything that helps or he thinks helps is wonderful!
In the meantime, my SIL tells me he has been crying lately. I asked her if she had been giving him his anti-depressant. Guess what? NO! WTH? I calmly told her that he would cry, laugh, or be angry at inappropriate times if he did not take his medication regularly. I've explained this to her a gazillion times!
I know she thinks she is trying to help him with natural healing, but I've tried to explain to her why he needs each medication. So, it seems she has been weening him from pain meds, anti-depressants, and spasm meds. That's just sooo fantastic, I think I will have a party! I can't wait til he comes home and he has no acupuncture treatment, as we can't afford it and then I have to deal with getting him back on the anti-depressant, etc!
She had to get off the phone because he started crying again! She really doesn't understand. :x
However...I AM grateful that she is taking care of him to give me a rest! :smile:
