Debsie, I know, how you feel about medication - Mary had loads of tablets and things to help her live a full and active life as I do too, and I feel that without them. I’d have lost her sooner than I did.
My firstborn was a boy, my second a girl, whom we lost on her first day. I’d have loved a daughter as I’m sure my ex-wife did too. And then we went on to have a second boy. Both are wonderful gifts of course. I was then so lucky to have got together with Mary and her two girls. So had two of each, who were always ‘our’ children. Now I have 6 granddaughters and 5 grandsons as well. I feel just so fortunate!
KtG, I see myself in your medication regime. I set alarms and then forget if I don’t take them right away. How you set yours out is very like my own way.
Your husband would be pleased for you, I’m sure – working in a nice, well designed kitchen is so good, and you’ll have fun with deciding where all your things will go in the cupboards, I’m sure.
I hope you have a lovely time with your daughter. Happy 18th birthday KtG’s daughter.
Peaches I understand what you’re suggesting but almost none of my meds come in bottles, just the sprays, and the rest all come in different size and shape boxes and different types of blister pack. Following my TIA in 2023, I now have 9 different morning meds and 7 different one’s at night. If I didn’t put them in plastic pill dispensing boxes I’d find it difficult to take them out of their packaging twice a day or find anywhere to put them when in use. I just need to remember I think!
