John has a sore on his finger. Despite the fact that it's healing well, he thinks he's going to lose his finger. He's angry that I won't take him to the doctor. He told me that he believed in me, but he was wrong. He's asking me fairly often "Where's Susan?", or "Is Susan at work?". I reply "I'm Susan, and I'm right here." He's consistently crabby and critical. He usually behaves when other people are around, but when they're not, he's very difficult to deal with day in and day out. We have appointments this week with his psychiatrist and his neurologist, so I'm definitely planning to discuss it with both of them. Hopefully they'll have some suggestions.
