Right now Jess seems to be having more trouble with remembering things. I am not sure if it is seizures or forgetfulness. It is more like what we saw before she was on seizure medications, but some of it seems more like forgetfulness.
Most of it would not be a big deal. The part I have a HUGE issue with is leaving food out. She seems to honestly think she has put the food away, but she hasn't. This is the 2nd time in a week I have found eggs that were left out for more than 24 hours. Of course she pays to replace them. The food waste really bothers both of us. I had a migraine both days that hit suddenly and simply couldn't check the kitchen to see if food was put up. It was all I could do to drive her to work and pick her up from work.
Asking my husband to put food away or remind her to put food away doesn't work. I really don't think he sees the food sitting out, odd as that seems. He is so focused on what is going on in his head and what he is doing that there is no room for other things. He is an intensely creative person with way too much going on in his head for a lot of reality to register with him. I knew this when I married him, and have to adjust. He does what he can, but he won't be much help with this issue.
Any and all ideas are VERY welcome! I don't want to punish Jess because I honestly don't think she is doing this on purpose. I think she needs help to stop this rather than punishment.
Thank you so very very much!
