Drugs!!

Whoever thought I would be thankful and relieved to say my husband was on drugs. But I am. He has finally started the long awaited drug therapy. They are starting off slowly with one drug for improving cognition, and will monitor his progress. After that they will switch it up and try something new. They will rotate about every week or so for the next few weeks and see how it goes and if he has any greater response to a particular drug or drug type and then we will have it. It being our evaluation. It will go one of two ways. He will show some changes or responses, or he won't. If he does, they will come up with a further plan. He will stay in Kentfield as long as they think necessary, then the will transfer him to a step down facility where he will continue with his drug and physical therapy. If he does not show response or improvement, they will also let us know. The decisions from there will be hard ones. Any of the decisions will be hard ones. It has to be better than living in limbo. It is so incredibly hard to believe that it will be one year this month. A whole year, and the pain is still there. Still sharp. There are more days in between the really agonizing ones, but the pain is still there. A year and he is just now being evaluated. A year, and he is just now getting drug therapy for the first time. Amazing. discusting, and reprehensible. But for now, we've got DRUGS!
