Filling up my dosette box

Used to be a joy.

With all the different colours,

The makers did employ.

But suddenly all the pills went white,

Which made it hard to check,

And caps went different colours too.

It's a right pain in the neck.

We need these things to keep us well,

Despite the current farce, (I bet you've already guessed where this is going :-o )

Otherwise we could tell them,

To stick them up their *****.

Hi, cant you get your pharmacist to make your medication up for you , I get mine delivered weekly in a nomad , i can't remember if I went through my gp or the pharmacist as it used to take forever to make up a weekly on myself but I had to as i would forget if I had taken them or not. Lol. Its worth asking save you the hassle.

Wishing you a restful night

Loved it😊 The chemists over here,OZ,put them in what they call a blister pack,so all sorted & no charge! Do have a word with your pharmacist xx

Chemists will do that here too, but I'm an independent old cuss.

We all like being independent. But I would take any help I am offered. My cummunity resp team asked if I wanted a dosset box and I said yes. A find it a lot easier than having to push the tablets out of the blister pack and opening bottles. Especially when I have arthritis in my hands.

I have noticed I am getting different colours than usual and that does'nt help as so used to having same colour pills for many years. I asked why and told they use so many different suppliers now. So I asked if I could have a blister pack and told it took up too much time so still do my own,. Maybe it is down to which chemist you use as I know a lot of people get blister packs.

Sometimes getting too much help can be bad for you. If you *can* do it yourself, it's best to do it yourself. Keeps you going and if you get it wrong, you've no one to blame but yourself. ;)

Totally agree with you ,if we can then we should do it . I can see a time when it will come but not now and I'm a bit like you said I'm an independent sort and as I look at it there are things I can't do like open the bottles the tablets come in and I can't get any lid off anything but I really try hard . Xx

I live down a lane and I have been known to pop out of my house and ask a nice person to undo my lids ,if I can remember I get hub before he goes to work ,I leave a little note and the thing I want opened on top .You couldn't make it up but people are always really nice to me and happy to help .xx

The story of your dosette box is good and really quaint

but to solve the problem properly use various coloured paint.

Not what you're looking for?
