1. Yep

Many years before I considered myself a senior.

2. Oh, yes!!!

3. yep,,,, this is precisely why I

have one of those 7 day with morning & night containers pill boxes,,,, it's a pita to load it once a week but it is so worth it. I put both prescription meds and vitamin supplements in it


fwiw: When I would talk about getting old, my ol Momma used to say, "It's all downhill from here, Karen, it's all downhill"

6. I'll probably need one of those soon.

The old memory isn't what it once was.

7. I have the 7-day box, with morning & night, but still get messed up every so often.

Problem is- when you take the same pills every morning and night for years, it becomes so routine you sometimes do not even pay attention to what is going into your mouth.
3 morning pills, 5 at night, one other, plus several supplements that aren't in boxes.

In early Feb. I had to pay $471 for one prescription of 60 pills, which is frequently advertised on TV. That satisfied my annual prescription deductible. Just got a renewal prescription - only $42. I take one each morning and one each night.

8. I have five seven day pill boxes

But no longer have any daily prescriptions - I do have recommended things to take so I make up five weeks at a time so I don't have to drag the pill bottles out on a regular basis.

Too often I forget to take them, though. Mornings don't work since far too often the doorbell wakes me up and I have to deal with stuff before breakfast. So I take them at night - but if I get too tired, I forget. It does make it easier to remember, and to see if I've forgotten any.
