I know the saying is "when life hands you lemons, make lemonade,' but when the docs prescribe you meds...
make a face!
The face was actually Dada's doing. The teeth on the edges were Tylenol after my hysterectomy. The huge ones are calcium & Vitamin D. The gel one is also Vitamin D, the small oval is an allergy pill, the white round one was Tamoxifen, and the gummies are vitamins.
The top photo collection only differs in that the allergy pill is one of the tiny white ones and instead of the small circle Tamoxifen, I'm now on another tinier white circle that is Arimidex. The orange gel one is a stool softener, required after the hysterectomy lest I pop any stitches if I became constipated. Possibly TMI, but hey, I try to keep things real around here. The two purply non-gummy circles that taste like I imagine mulch would taste are my CDK 4/6 inhibitors (the 3 year pills).
So yes, I crack up everytime a doc asks me about drug use. Then they clarify about "illegal" ones. Who has time to do illegal ones when it takes me enough time to get all these down as it is?
My most recent doc visit asked if I used alcohol. I paused before I confessed, "that break week for that one med... I had a drink that week." She smiled and teased, "you could have two."
I had no idea adulthood would be so thrilling!
