I've been continuing to take mental notes on my W's actions since she began her new med's. But after my first weeks report of instantly seeing some improvements, the last week or two seems to have been replaced with more of the same ol, same ol.
So last night as she was taking her med's, I asked her how was she feeling lately? That it has been almost a month now and I wondered if she felt or noticed any difference in her self. To which she said "it's not a month, it's only been 3 weeks". I looked at the calendar, and said that she started taking them the weekend of Thanksgiving, and that's nearly a month. Besides, that wasn't the question. I simply asked if she was feeling better. As she began counting the number of pills left in her thirty day supply and going on about the exact number of days equated to 3 weeks and a day or so. Then she added that she's missed a few days and still has 8 left, so it may not even be three weeks.
I said fine, so I'm off by few days, it's not a month, it's more that three weeks by my account and we're splitting hairs here and again, that wasn't my question. I just wanted to know how your doing. She said it's too early to tell, and that I knew that her Dr. told her that it could take 4 - 6 weeks before there is any noticable change. So I said, "So, what your telling me is that I need to wait until after a month has gone by to ask you if your feeling any better yet"? She said "Yes'.
Grrrr..... So much for simple questions and the fine art of effective communication.
