Losing things [View all]

I guess I’m just venting here. My daughter, just turned 26, was diagnosed with severe ADHD as a child. One aspect is that she constantly loses things: glasses, her debit card, etc. 2 years ago she got hearing aids, the tiny kind that go behind the ears. I was sure that would be trouble, and sure enough, she called yesterday to tell me they are lost. She thinks she lost them at work, which is a small zoo where she has a seasonal job. It will cost $1500 to replace them. She is going to try looking with a metal detector, but that is a long shot. She is also off her Vyvanse, due to moving to a different state and changing insurance. Hopefully that will be resolved soon.

I just get SO frustrated with the constant losing things and general messiness of her living quarters. As an extremely organized person it drives me crazy. Thanks for listening 😄
