SORT THEM TABLETS

With the vast array of medications and supplements Missus is now on, left to herself she'd scramble through one big paper bag to find the right ones for the morning or evening dose. I therefore with each fresh prescription she brings home, I sort them for her into a large number of paper bags, each one with one type of tablet and dose, because individual tablets aren't the right number of milligrams. She may need to take a 5 milligram tablet and a 10 milligram to get the correct 15 milligram dose for example.

This means there's a vast assortment of paper bags on her side of the bed, but she takes everything at the right dose at the right time. She does this because she knows our marriage counts on it. In this way I am fortunate. Many delusional people simply don't take their medication and get in a cycle of being sectioned and released.
