@contentandwell Thank you!
It has pretty much become second nature for me to ask if he has his meds along. We keep two doses [one morning, one evening] in my car center console "just in case", and change them out every few months. Likewise, I keep doses of my meds in his truck. Especially as we come in to winter, if we were to get delayed somewhere, we might not have clean underwear, but we will have meds!

@gingerw I had to change from tacrolimus to sirolimus and the good thing is that you only have to take sirolimus once a day. I get up, take it, and then wait an hour before eating -- I prefer to take without food so I can a smaller dosage. When I went from taking it with food to without my dose dropped from 4mg to 2.5mg. The other benefit of taking without food is that if the timing of taking it is not convenient with when dining, as when eating out or something, I no longer have to deal with that.
