When my MIL used to visit, she seemed to have at least a dozen different pills that she needed to take daily. I think the medications were mainly for her heart condition, but I never did ask. It always amazed me how many pills she needed to take. She kept the numerous bottles on the dresser top during her stay.
I used to think her amount of prescription pills was a lot. Back then I only took 2 prescribed medicines, a statin and low dose aspirin. That was before I had coronary artery bypass surgery and follow-up stents. Now I have 3 additional prescribed medicines for my heart. Recently, I also had cataract surgery, which required some short term medication.
The challenge for me is remembering which pills to take when, since some are morning pills and some are evening pills. To keep track, I've created a system of preparing the next dose pills in advance, so that I'm aware of the proper time to take.
Hopefully, I'll be able to be weened off some heart medication over the next few months as I recover from the most recent surgeries.
