It’s time

It’s time for me to pick a new doctor that takes hubby’s insurance. The doctor we’ve been seeing for years doesn’t take Aetna and it’s getting way too expensive to continue going to him.

I need to get my thyroid medication because I haven’t taken it in quite awhile and now I’m always cold and beginning to put on some weight. I could take some conjugated linoleic acid to burn off the fat but I don’t really want to do that yet. I want to get my meds and get where I need to be and see what happens with the weight after that.

I also need to get meds for my osteoporosis. I don’t want to end up breaking a bone or something. I just want to feel healthy again.. which I don’t feel right now.

Trying to get help

Charlotte — Fri, 22 Jan 2010 19:13:33 +0000

I have to start checking out nursing homes for mom. She has dementia and messes up her medications. Some she doesn’t take and confuses her best joint supplement for her dementia medicine and because she skips her dementia meds she’s getting very forgetful and gets nasty with everyone.

It’s not something I really want to do but I don’t know what else to do. The county won’t give any more help than they already are and her latest evaluation shows that she should be in a nursing home. Andi and I are going to visit some places and check them out and try to find the best one for her.

Organize your meds

I take several different meds each day and if I didn’t organize them I’d get all messed up. I use an organizer like the one in the picture to keep my meds straight. I got mine at CVS and it helps to keep my morning meds separate from my night time meds.

You could use this for all kinds of things. You can use it for your meds, diet pills, small screws or nails or to hold just about any small item. It’s a very handy item that I couldn’t do without. The one I have even has removable containers in case you need to go somewhere and will be out of the house at your scheduled pill taking time.
