This is what life looks like for a family with serious chronic illnesses. Each basket is filled with daily meds for one person. All medicine is bagged individually with detailed information on each bag. Each month, I dose medicine into weekly pill containers. This usually takes me between 3-5 hours. I dose the meds, rewrite everyone’s med lists on notecards for their backpacks, and then I put a med shopping list together. Since I usually do this on the weekend or in the evening, I do the med shopping the next day. This usually requires phone calls to various pharmacies. Then follow up phone calls to doctor’s offices. #notallillnessesarevisible #chdwarrior #dysautonomiaawareness
By the way, these are just the daily meds. This doesn’t include the occasional medication. And these baskets have been a lot leaner and also a lot fuller. Medication is an everchanging subject.
