Filling the pillbox: tasks of old age.

Tweet

I remember that many years ago, when my mother in law was old, we´d go with my husband to visit her during the weekend and we would fill her pill box. She had one of those in which you could put the pills needed for a whole week. My husband took that job after he discovered that even though his brother lived 3 houses away from her, He did not have the imagination to go and check what my MIL was doing. And sometimes she got confused and did not take her pills when she should. Time goes by quickly and in the last 15 or 20 years, I have to fill a pillbox with my meds every week. Only it does not look as though I only have to do it once a week. The pillbox gets empty so quickly that it seems there´s an evil elf taking them. Lately, the years go by quickly, the months of the year fly and the monthly bills need payment in what it seems it´s less than a month. If you don´t believe me, check your pillbox if you have one. One day it is filled, the next day it is empty Do you feel as I do?
