Be Careful What You Ask For.

8 Replies

Pills incased in bubbles

Can be a real curse

Having arthritic hands

Can make the job much worse.

But what is the alternative

You may care to ask

To make it much more easier

To carry out this task.

Put them in a bottle

The answer seems to be.

But they are brown and dark inside

What's left you cannot see.

So when you think that it's okay

And you've got plenty left

You find the darn thing empty

Leaving you bereft. :-o

Plus you can't get the flipping top off! No amount of pushing and twisting works for me. Xxx 😀

We've already covered that, Sassy. For child proof stuff you borrow someone's child, they don't have a problem with them. lol

The blister packs are a pain even when you are able bodied. The bedroom has loads off paracetamol caplets hidden in unseen spots, after they have suddenly burst out and taken flight across the room in the dark, never to be seen again, probably keeping all my lost socks company. Why do they also put them in over-large boxes too, wasting so much space, I need a cabinet of my own just for my meds.

I have arthritis in my hands. But have all the tablets I take every day in a dosset box. I find it helps. No more struggling to get the top off of the bottles.

Refuse sacks are another gripe, opening up a new one is a work of art even when able bodied. Or be so ridiculously thin that they tear spilling their contents all over the floor, or in my case all down the stairwell.

I use my thumb nail to puncture the pill blister pack and get the tablet out. Still get tablets shooting all over the bedroom though.

That's the correct answer, but the smoothies still shoot out. lol
