I have been faithfully writing down every pill I have to take - both to make sure I take what I am supposed to take at the right time in the right order and combination, and to make sure I don't take something twice! I don't totally trust my tired brain to get it all straight.
They say you know yourself best, and I got to thinking about the bitterness of the medicines I have to take. Wouldn't it be nice if, in true Mary Poppins style, the meds could have some nice flavor to leave hanging around in your mouth afterwards, instead of the galling after taste that continues to remind you of their potency for hours?
So why not? Why shouldn't I prescribe a flavor pill to suck on to remove that bitterness? Indeed! I thought about it, and decided to prescribe Jelly Bellies! Kiel went to Wegmans and stood in front of the Jelly Belly bins and read off the flavors while I "yea'd" or "nay'd" the selections. Watermelon, raspberry, peach, grape, cherry, tangerine, plum, LICORICE!!! What a delightful palette of flavors to choose from.
Now I take those bitter pills, drink a ton of water, and then select the appealing flavor of the hour to leave the aftertaste of choice. Much better! Now that's a prescription I don't mind taking.
