In a Pharmaceutical Stew

Never in my life have I seen, nor taken so many pills. They come in all sizes, colors, and shapes. Some are to be taken twice a day, some three times a day. Others are to be taken “as needed.” Pills for anti-nausea, acid reflux, pain, cough suppressant, thyroid, antibiotic, constipation, plus supplements such as fish oil, calcium D, multi-vitamin, baby aspirin, etc. etc. My head is in a whirl trying to keep it all straight. I even dream about pills. With all of that added to my first round of chemotherapy, it is no wonder that yesterday I wandered around in a “chemo fog,” fuzzyheaded and greatly fatigued. Today is better, and thank goodness Bob is here to help me keep track of all those pills.
