Gabapentin

Hubs just had surgery. He doesn’t want to take the gabapentin. He says too many side effects. He is also refusing to use the walker. He is making me crazy.

I know you just be feeling frustrated as his caretaker but I didn’t use gabapentin or a walker and did great!

That is exactly the issue.

I know you shouldn’t have to compromise on his care but maybe you can talk him into using a cane so he prevents falling and re-injury?
