Meds Meds Meds

This morning I had trouble rousing myself from my bed.
My clients felt the same way.

Med visits mostly with an assist or two in there.
It amazes me when someone's blister pack contains more than 4 morning pills all medications.
I had a client today who had 14 pills for morning time. 14!
The rule I always heard was more than 10 meds in a 24 hour period is too many.
That is ten different medications not ten pills in total.

Another Lady this am was in so much pain she could not use her arm.
She also kicked up about taking the pills with water.
'Makes trouble with the other things...'
She means incontinence.

Meds Meds Meds.
Keeps us all going, I suppose.
Without meds I would be dead; breathless.
