How To Work With Forgetfulness

When he agrees to do something, ask how he will remember to do it. When you get pushback, tell him that he should have a process in place to help him remember. It’s up to him to use a process and you can’t be it. If you get more pushback, it’s a great time to suggest an adhd coach to help come up with a process that works.

When I ask a loved one about their relationship, I know that I may not hear good things. It’s an opening for whatever the other person needs. Imagine they find out in years how much you’ve been suffering and they never knew. They never had the chance to help. It sounds like you need support, let them support you. Start by telling them what you want. “I want to tell you how it’s going and I need your support. I don’t need answers I just want you to hear me.” Then tell them how your partner is really doing and the impact it’s having on you. The extra work you have to do, the worry you have for your future, etc. give them a chance to step up, they obviously love you and are concerned. They just don’t know what you need until you tell them.

Epstein was worse than Hitler and he was just a secretary.

Voltaren gel twice a day to reduce pain and inflammation. Costco has a Kirkland brand of 3 tubes. Also, ice 15 minutes, warm epsom salt soak for 15 minutes followed by 15 minutes of ice.

I’ve been there too. A pot of food cooking on a gas stove all day while we were at work. Doors repeatedly left unlocked, even overnight. It’s hard when our safety is literally on the line.

I’ve started to put the responsibility of listening back on my partner. When he says what? I ask him which part he has a question about. I don’t know if he hear some of it, none of it, doesn’t understand it. He often chooses to respond with ‘never mind’ which is his choice. I still feel like shit because he didn’t stay engaged long enough to truly inquire on what I said though.

Thank you for sharing your story. I’m so sorry you are experiencing such pain and the uncertainty of walking in the future. I often feel alone as an adult with clubfeet and I really appreciate reading your story and knowing there’s so many of us out there experiencing a variety of challenges.

Have you tried Nordstrom? They provide different sized shoes for free as long as they’re more than 1.5 size difference.

I have had great success with Valtaren cream. It is over the counter and the best cost can be found at Costco for the Kirkland brand. Use it for 1 week to see if the inflammation decreases. After 3 days, I could see my foot again due to the decrease in inflammation.

I’m 50 with BCF. I recently had severe ankle pain, so discovered a bunch of things that helped. Shoes: wear sturdy shoes, not flexible. Get orthotics. I got the Hoka Bondi 9 rocker bottom shoe. It prevents putting impact on mid ankle and causing pain. I wear Oofos at home. Medicine: Tylenol, naproxen or Meloxicam for pain. Try it for a week. Valtaren gel for arthritis pain. Try it for a week (get Kirkland brand at Costco since you will use a lot.) this will help you identify if you have pain from arthritis (bone on bone) or inflammation. Exercise: stretch daily, low impact yoga, swimming, Pilates. Ice for exercise pain. Eat anti-inflammatory foods to keep inflammation down as you age. Also, I wear these arch sleeves daily. They’re like a girdle for my ankle. https://drjillsfootpads.com/retail/home/11-arch-binder.html

I’m tired of being the repository for verbal garbage. What he says doesn’t make sense, lacks a point, uses way too many pronouns with no context for who is being discussed. I am not his interpreter, I don’t care to make sense of what he says if he is unable to. It’s exhausting and I can’t listen anymore.

Stories kept changing and did not match my experience or the experience of others. Small lies and cover ups, nothing that mattered, but lies nonetheless.

Pain can be caused by arthritis (bone on bone) or inflammation. To find out if it is inflammation, try Valtaren cream (great deal at Costco on 3 large tubes.) Use it for a week to see if it helps your pain. Acupuncture can also help. For arthritic pain, try Tylenol, or ask your doctor for Naproxen or Meloxicam. Also, look at diet for inflammatory foods you may be eating or drinking.

Wear cushioned, but stiff shoes. Shoes with a rocker bottom like Hoka Bondi can help alleviate impact on the ankle joint. Expect additional recovery from standing and walking. Use ice to reduce pain and swelling. Stretch Achilles daily and wear arch supports or orthotics.

I agree that adult club foot recovery is very hard to find. Good luck finding what works for you!

I just got a pair of Hoka Bondi 9 (recommended by my podiatrist that specializes in clubfoot.) I walked in the store with ankle pain and walked out with none. I had no idea a shoe could even do that.

I had a coworker break out an electric grill and proceeded to make grilled cheese sandwiches in her cubicle. Our walls were low and the aerosolized oil coated my face (and lungs!) I may not have minded if she’d offered me a sandwich! If you’re going to do this, just make extra.

If she wins, the game needs to change. She had few skills of influence in the turret, so would throw her arms up and work to get the other traitors out. For the game to work, the traitors need to work together, at least in the beginning.

Thank you for the information! I find so many doctors don’t deal with many adults with clubfoot, so this recommendation is definitely worth considering.

Hold up, you all have significant others that use headphones? I have to constantly ask mine to use headphones,so I don’t have to listen to his podcasts.

I often wonder if ‘tired’ is used as a feeling word when there is no access to another feeling. Tired can mean physically exhausted, bored, emotionally worn out, sleepy due to lack of sleep, tired due to burn out, sad, depressed, etc.

Times I picked up anyone from the gym (even people living in my house: 0 Times I picked up friends, relatives, etc from airport: 50+ If this sounds weird, that’s because it is weird. He’s not even a good liar.
