take four times a day with food....

.... I've just counted out my drugs for the week - 90 odd tablets - 7 different drugs - and on top of that I have a long-term, slow-release injection of steroid. Keeping up with all these pills became so challenging - how many of which, when - and which ones need to be taken with food - that I gave in, and started using one of those pill organisers. It was a hard decision - they are in my mind so associated with being old and disabled - and those are two things which no-one wants to be, or feel.

So every Wednesday morning, first thing, you will find me popping pills out of bubble packs (a challenge when your fingers feel like sore sausages) and counting them into the pill organiser....
