It is impossible for a senior citizen (rank has its privileges my azz) to regulate the taking of their medicine on their own. Did I take all of them today? Or some of them and which ones?. I can't remember. I think I did but maybe I didn't. So I'm even odds to take a second dose or skip a dose only to have the same dilemma tomorrow which confounds the problem, cause I may not have taken it yesterday or I might have taken double and depending on my confidence in my judgment I'll do the same today. Alright I can get a pill box with the days on them and that'll keep me on track, except that sometimes I'm not sure what day it is. It may be Tuesday but I think its Saturday (I've done that). If I'm sharp that day I'll look on my computer to find the day. But I may believe for sure that I know the day and go with that, and might be wrong. theoretically its possible that I end up taking a triple or quadruple dose or none for 3 or 4 days. Sheesh Louise, I'm doomed.
I ain't gonna make out of this world alive! I don't see myself as "old" though all the service folks automatically give me the senior discount. I hate it that they can look at me and see I'm not young. When did that happen? It seems like overnight I went from being me to being a geezer. I shall persevere nevertheless. "Do not go gently into the night."
I confess that I've always had this problem of confusing days and forgetting, for many years, so its not necessarily cause I'm aging.
