Re: [SPAM] taking meds

[Guest guest]

I know all about taking the nurse out of the hospt. lol We are still trying to take the CNA out of the nursing home, not doing a good job yet.

I understand what you say about the heat and humidity however I really don't have a problem with that. The meds are kept in a lined locked drawer close to the door that never gets shut-----never-----. I am the only one who uses this bathroom so that is not a problem with the showers. And heat? what is that. We have floor heat and my hubby likes it on the cool side. Last winter we didn't have to turn our heat on at all. It was always 65 in here. If I get chilly I cuddle up with an electric throw Jim bought me. So you see I have it covered. I talked to my pharmacist and when he delivered my chair and things he checked it out and assured me it was just fine in there.

Thank you for your advise but believe me, after being in the medical business for over 20 years, I check out everything. I want to take as good of care of me that I can. This NS scares the heck out of me. I already had a flare up and don't want to bring on another one.

And your advise is very much appreciated. It is nice to know that there are those out there who understand and care. Keep up the good work because I read and take advise often.

With smiles and prayers
