Do you take vitamins or something? If so I’d you are home when she needs to take it, why not pour juice or such in Two glasses and say Mom lets take our meds together.
How often does she take them? Mine are in like a calendar 1-31. Top has morning and bottom has evening.
Yes definitely! As I was packing up stuff to move into assisted living I found pills not taken everywhere.
Kenny,
It's always better to be safe than sorry, brother. Suffering with this disease myself there have been, and sure will continue, times I forget to take my meds. I have someone to remind me which I am grateful for. However, there have been times this disease has shown its ugly face and I've said things to this person because it's embarrassing. This forgetfulness. Hey, I am a grown man and all that, so there have been and will be times I say things that I really don't mean. Or, even control for that matter. When she " bucks" about medication issues always try to keep in mind that it's embarrassing for those of us that suffer with this shit and the disease has a funny way of reacting to be "told" (we know is simply a reminder) to stuff like this. Keep doing what you're doing because at the end of the day, no matter what, your people need you. GOD BLESS you and your mother, family, friends and thanks for being someone that truly cares. Drew

Agreed my sister handles all my meds for me and keeps track. On refills and appointments.
