I retired a few years ago after driving a school bus for 25 years! When my daughter went into rehab I took on raising my granddaughter Amelia. It is just the two of us, since my husband passed away.
Senior Guardian
Amelia is really struggling in school. Her teacher told me even girls can have ADHD, and to get her tested. That was news to me!
Traditional understanding of the medical system and receives help from provider offices.
I want to get Amelia diagnosed and working with a doctor ASAP - her school says she needs "an accommodation".
Social Security
I'm on a fixed income. How much will this all cost? Will Amelia's Medicaid cover it?
Paper Calendar
I keep a handwritten paper calendar near the home phone and both a physical and digital address book.
I am a bit old fashioned and use a phone as a phone - ha! But I do like getting text reminders from my pharmacy when I refill my blood pressure meds. I also love looking on Facebook to keep up with family photos and such.
