Sean's new meds...

For the past few months Sean's been on medication for Gout and for his high cholesterol. I told him, he's 40 now, the time when you have to start taking medication on a daily basis. ;) He just renewed his one prescription but couldn't get to the pharmacy to pick it up so I did it for him. And holy cow - the one pill he has to take looks like it could be the same size as some of those horse supplements that they give horses. It's huge! I'd have to cut it in half to swallow it.

I'm actually proud of him - so far he's remembered to take his pills everyday. He leaves them in the kitchen by the coffee maker, that way every morning he sees them when he's going to make coffee and then remembers to take them. The Gout ones seem to be working too. He hasn't had any Gout flare ups since he started taking the medication. I think the Gout meds are lifetime meds to help control it. The cholesterol meds are until he gets his cholesterol levels down. I doubt that's going to happen anytime soon though. It's one thing to take the meds, but you also have to change your eating habits as well - something he hasn't been doing! He can be flabbergasting at times!
