Let's talk medicine...
Before cancer, I had one prescription. One.
And it wasn't even a daily medication. Just as needed for headaches.
Now this is part of my morning routine:

Now this is part of my morning routine:
That may not look terrible to you, but for someone who abhors taking pills, it's a nightmare. I have to have about five gulps of water to swallow each pill. I hate swallowing pills! And water still tastes gross to me (thank you, chemo), so drinking a bottle of water to take my pills just makes everything worse!
I also have three pills I take at night. And you know what makes all of this even more frustrating? Some of the pills I take, I have to take to combat the side effects of the other pills I take! It's like a never-ending cycle. One pill makes me sick? Take a nausea pill. One pill gives me restless legs? Take a restless legs pill. God forbid I get a headache, too, and have to add yet another medicine or two to the mix.
I used to tease Hubby about all of his prescriptions.
That teasing is coming back to bite me now.
<sigh>
