Carenote From Linda

Welcome to CareNotes. In this special section we will feature a reader's letter and provide an opportunity for an interactive exchange that will help find some answers and possible solutions to concerns. 

My husband is a stroke patient. Thankfully, he can still walk (with a slight limp), understand most everything said to him and is able to take care of his own personal needs. His having speech therapy and that is going fairly well. He is on several medications, about 9 pills per day. He HATES taking any type of pill and always has. He becomes very angry when he has to take the meds and becomes very angry anytime I don't understand what he's telling me, etc. I feel that depression is a factor, but putting him on another med would probably make bad matters worse. We have been married 46 years and I love him more than ever, but the emotional stress is really getting me down. What do I do?
