Filling the Pill Boxes

A Saturday night chore at my house is the filling of the medication cases for the week.

Adored Wife and Social Hurricane both take quite a lot of maintenance medication.  SH is, I think, on about four different things--I don't fully keep up with hers.  She and AW have been handling it.

Adored Wife takes six different prescription medications on a regular basis, three of them four times a day, one thrice daily, two twice daily, and one once a day.  She also takes a daily multivitamin, twice daily calcium, and a daily aspirin, all at the recommendation of her doctors.  She ALSO has three other medications she takes on an "as needed" basis, depending on whether or not various symptoms flare up.  Those stay in the bathroom and don't go in the pill case.

Lots of people, of course, have chronic health conditions and set up medication on a regular basis--it's hardly unique to us.

But it's a satisfying little chore, and the pill cases are translucent--with all the various medications in their different shapes and colors in there and set up for the week they actually look quite pretty.

Hope all's well out there, friends, and God bless.
