By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.
VI. No Waiver of Your Rights. APFM does not (and may not) require or even ask consumers seeking senior housing or care services in Washington State to sign waivers of liability for losses of personal property or injury or to sign waivers of any rights established under law.I agree that: A.I authorize A Place For Mom ("APFM") to collect certain personal and contact detail information, as well as relevant health care information about me or from me about the senior family member or relative I am assisting ("Senior Living Care Information"). B.APFM may provide information to me electronically. My electronic signature on agreements and documents has the same effect as if I signed them in ink. C.APFM may send all communications to me electronically via e-mail or by access to an APFM web site. D.If I want a paper copy, I can print a copy of the Disclosures or download the Disclosures for my records. E.This E-Sign Acknowledgement and Authorization applies to these Disclosures and all future Disclosures related to APFM's services, unless I revoke my authorization. You may revoke this authorization in writing at any time (except where we have already disclosed information before receiving your revocation.) This authorization will expire after one year. F.You consent to APFM's reaching out to you using a phone system than can auto-dial numbers (we miss rotary phones, too!), but this consent is not required to use our service.

Now your husband might need to be reevaluated by his Dr. for his pain, as he might have gotten immune to what he is on and it might be time to try something different. I know my husband in his last 22 months of his life was on morphine first, and when that quit working he was put on hydromorphone, and then finally fentanyl. His fentanyl pump was eventually raised to the highest level possible to try to keep his pain under control, but eventually that still wasn't enough to control his pain, and in his final weeks of life even with the addition of hydromorphone again, his pain still was not under control, and it was heartbreaking to watch him suffer so. So please take him to his Dr. and see what can be done for him. You might find out that there's more going on with him than you know. God bless you and keep you.
I do hope your situation improves soon. Keep us posted.
I was pretty cavalier about long term pain issues until I became one of the people who wake up in pain and am in pain all day long. Arthritis mostly---somedays it's just brutal.
I do take a mild narcotic daily. If I didn't, I would not even be able to move. I watch with sadness as my knuckles begin to swell and ache. I'm only 64--and this is only going to get worse.
This doesn't sound right. Before you feel guilty yourself, you ought to be very sure that it's what you think it is. Lying in bed, being very demanding, and taking narcotics is not unknown for other reasons.
When dreams aren’t fulfilled in our lives we are disappointed and even resentful at times.
It’s very monotonous and extremely difficult to face the same scenario day in and day out.
It’s much easier to face a situation when we know it is temporary. When there isn’t an end in sight we can sink into depression and anxiety. Please find someone to speak to.
Vent on this forum. We have lots of members that will share their experiences with you. Hopefully you will find people that you connect with.
I personally feel that you are being too hard on yourself.
Do you get a break from your husband? Even in a marriage where no one is sick, we need time for ourselves too.
