Managing Medicine has come a long way....medicine boxes are beneficial for remembering or checking to see if one has taken the medicine.

Use the following chart with your medicine box to keep track of prescription needs and for discussing issues during doctor's visits and trips to the emergency room.

We have the false notion that once we are released from the hospital we are well. How many times have you told someone “I’m fine” once released from the hospital. Truth be known...many times we have just started the recovery process. We do not feel like going to the grocery store, stopping at the pharmacy and preparing healthy meals. We are worn out from the “discharge process” at the hospital...it can take days to recover from that process alone.

When you are released from the hospital...let someone help you get everything in order. Let someone go to the store, pick up your prescriptions, and prepare a meal or two for you.

Letting someone else help is not a sign of age or weakness. IT IS A GOOD THING.
