You're right. A pill reminder is something simple and very helpful for organizing our medications. Thank you for sharing that! Out of curiosity, how do you remember to take your AEDs, which usually need to be taken at a specific time?

@santosha I find that having all my pills set up in a bubble-pack makes the biggest difference in keeping my pills organized from day to day. That takes away any questions Home care may have about dosages. In reality the dosage doesn't change much from day to day. Bubble packs are key to eliminating any confusion about what to offer me. I am so happy with this system.

@santosha Because of the side effects of my brain surgery in 1992, I now have short term memory loss. To compensate, Home Care comes 4 times a day to administer all 21 pills from my bubble pack & to remind me to take my 2 puffers each visit. I value their presence daily. They are not called home CARE workers for nothing, They do give me good Care.
