I have a pill taking problem... Judy does a fantastic job keeping them all straight in the little boxes for morning noon and night..  but every once in a while I notice a pill that's missing get out of here that was to larkey And the missing pill  

is sometimes found in front of the pellet  heater or such ... The problem is not any inconsistency and Judy is very carefully placing the multitude of pills and the right little square..   it is the fact that those damn little squares open and closed too easily so it's just too easy for a pill to get lost.. if anybody is even handling that pill container...  Judy solution was to keep the container in her huge pill box Across the room from me and that just is not going to work because I would forget to take them entirely... 

I was alerted to the problem when I woke up at 2:00 AM and my phone  Told me it was Friday and my pill box told me I had not taken Friday night's pills so I swig them down.. only to find out there wasn't quite Friday yet..   so now I have some of Fridays  pills in me.... And somebody's gonna figure out that I did it wrong. I just knew it... problem was at the tender age of 87 at 2:00 in the morning I felt I was entitled to decide what day it was and I'd figure out what to do some other time.... "The whole thing got very complicated when Judy quite rightly   decided that I shouldn't have the pills in quite such easy reach... especially if I don't know what day it is.. while not knowing what day it is is an ongoing problem and has nothing to do with being 87 however assumptions are always made

And truly if I didn't know what day it was as a permanent thing Judy would have been right to take the pills away from me... however not knowing the day is an ongoing problem which is overridden by the fact that I tend to forget them entirely...  so to sum it all up---I am still 87-- I still don't know what day it is and the only way I can tell if I've taken my pills as if the little box is empty---- it is absolutely pointless to ask me if I've taken the pills because I always would say yes because I always remember taking those two black pills that are the size that you would feed a horse---so choking them down twice a day is a memorable experience .

so I think the best solution still is to visually check to see what's out-of-the-box

 And have my phone pop up a constant message “now stop and think” instead of the usual message which is.. 

”. your Verizon bill is overdue and you're going to be disconnected”

p,s,   yesterdays visit in rockport was a huge success at a day care center  which had not only the walking day care but what ammounts to a rolling bed...for about a dozen :?residents?   total people seen was over 54...
