Pillapalooza




Between my meds for MS and my meds for BC, I feel like I could start a pharmacy. I have white, pink, blue, brown, yellow and green pills. You should see how many pill bottles I have collected. In most kitchens, when you open up the breadbox you expect to find bread of some variety. In our house, if you open the breadbox, you’d find it full of pill bottles. And you’d find more in the pantry, and on the wooden tray on our dining room table. Oh yeah, there’s a few more in my purse, too. I need some better way to organize all of my medicine so that when I’m hugging the toilet bowl, I can yell at my husband “Get me my puke pill NOW!” and he’ll know exactly where to find it. Because now it takes him like 15 minutes just to read through all of the labels.

Speaking of nausea, when will it go away?? It’s been five days since my first chemo and it still comes and goes. Today, I ate some ice cream thinking it would help but the soothing effect lasted only a half hour before the nausea came back. Ugh!
