lovely view from our balcony, weather a bit windy and dull at times but on the
whole good - not far too hot! And I now have photos of me leaning on a certain
rail in Porto Cristo in 1973, sitting by it in 1987 with the kids ( though we
didn't realise when we took that pic at the time), and sitting close by this
year.:-)
And I keep thinking of random comments to make about little things on Corrie but
you are behind.
What I will ask is, who gets blood pressure meds in a bottle these days when
everything comes in blister packs?

That's always a nice sentimental thing to have, glad you enjoyed it
and the weather played fair.
meds, one a.m. and one p.m. for my vestibular migraines and I simply
put enough out for the week in a little weekly container - against the
possibility I might forget otherwise :)

supplements. Even over the counter aspirin or paracetamol. Years ago when they
first diagnosed my underactive thyroid I got a bottle, but not now, and they are
tiny tablets it is very fiddly getting them out.People on assorted meds taken
every day or more often can get them srted out into big blisters for each day.
I say everything, unless the Coronation Street writers know different as you
will eventually see. ;-)
(Actually I believe you can ask for bottles if you have real trouble with
blisters but I haven't tried it. )

I know Davids arthritis was so bad I asked them not to put his meds in
'childproof' bottles as there were no kids in our home!
Kat don't forget you can always mark a post SNUK - then I can read it
or not!

fenofibrate. The statin only comes in blister packs. The dose of
fenofibrate are capsules that are distributed in both bottles and
blister packs, but my pharmacy has only stocked the bottles lately.
When refilling, I ask if I could get one box of blister packs if
they have them in as I find them easier when traveling, they
haven't had the blister packs for quite some time.

thyroxine, aspirin, a blood thinner, a statin,BP capsules and a thing to stop
the blood thinner giving me gastric problems, and paracetamol for my bad back, (
and recently some antibiotics) and every single one is in a blister pack. They
are convenient if fiddly at times.

The odd thing about the statin I take that only comes in a blister
pack is that I can frequently push one out of the blister pack and
it will land on the counter upright, like a wheel. Fortunately, it
rarely starts rolling away, but it seems to be the sort of thing that
I could never get it to do if I was trying, but since I'm not, it
happens almost half of the time.

I find them convenient to put in my toiletries bag for travel, but I
would much prefer a bottle in the drawer of the bathroom at home.

That's my fear each time I squeeze one out! Strangely, they usually
just land standing up with no rolling.
This is the sort of thing that every so often it might happen three
times in a row, but if someone offered me money to do it three times
in a row, it would NEVER happen.
