Morning Ritual
One pill, two pills, three pills four.
Five and six complete the score.
Then one rolls off onto the floor,
but knees are stiff and back is sore,
reclaiming it a painful chore,
so you just open up the drawer
and select one capsule more.
Swallowing pills is such a bore.
Can you remember what each is for?

Or if you even taken one or not? Haha – joys of aging.

Only way I remember is to do a weekly pill caddy. Otherwise I’d overdose or forget every day.

My husband can identify. One of his half dozen often escapes or disappears into the tablecloth colors. I’m thankful that I’ve only one pill I HAVE to take for my lack of thyroid. The rest, vitamin types, can be forgotten a time or two — though if I forget my glucosamine for too long, my arthritic knees and headaches will remind me. 🙂

Ah. I’d forgoten about glucosamine. I’ll have to dig mine out when I get home. It’s expiration date has probably lapsed. As I’m given new regimens by my drs., I forget the old ones!

Let’s not even go there! I depend on kinesthetic memory, without looking.

I have often said that I don’t want to become a pill-pusher — and yet it’s happening little by little!

I use a cap from one of my pill bottles and drop all the little roly-poly pills into it so they don’t roll off the table. Which doesn’t mean my bedroom floor isn’t covered with pills. They are determined to escape!

Mine wouldn’t all fit into a cap. Is this medication one-upmanship???? ;o)
