We need a change in the medication regime.
Up till now I have given mum 7 days of her tablets on a Sunday in a dispenser marked with the days of the week, and she has managed to take them ok.
Recently she seems to be struggling more and more with what day it is. Even the printed calendar and the calendar clock that displays the day don't seem to help. Theres a lot of confusion about (amongst other things) where she is up to with the tablets. I have decided to dole out the pills on a daily basis, just to be on the safe side.
Hope I remember.
Maybe I need another column or row on my calendar as a reminder.
It was a wake up call for us when Ma couldn't operate the pre-loaded monthly blister packs supplied by the chemist. Luckily a cousin was staying and found Ma swirling all the tablets from the emptied pods saying that she only had one blue one left...
ReplyDeleteLuckily mum is a willing tablet taker, too willing sometimes she had finished last weeks by Wednesday making the daily hand out become a necessity...
