Pluggers by Rick McKee for October 03, 2020

would she even be allowed through security with THAT many meds?

I thought those plastic cases with a little box for every day of the week were good for this sort of thing, but I suppose filling each compartment would take even longer. Especially when you take enough pills to choke a horse. Poor dog or possibly bear lady…

Had things stolen from checked in luggage. Especially Miami airport. Get thoroughly frisked too because at 70-80 years you are most likely a criminal or terrorist. For old men like me, I suggest wearing pants two sizes too large so that when you remove your belt they drop.

My husband carries our meds in his backpack when we travel. If we travel for a hospital stay, we have to keep them in the original containers which is really annoying!

We must have the same doctor! I don’t mind packing for a few days, but if it’s for 2 weeks or more, then I have to change out the over night bag for a proper suitcase to hold both mine and my husbands meds.

Looks like she is packing the whole drug store !

My wife is on HRT, so only one tiny pill a day. I’m the one with many pills.

When we travel, my wife is a rolling pharmacy. Not to mention a rolling department store.

Not me, thankfully. 2-3 pairs of shoes and no meds. Woohoo!

Isn’t too many meds a sign to examine them all with your doc?

My mom’s going on 89…she has 2

LOL My doctor was very impressed that I only take one medication at my age. Of course I take a whole bunch of non-medicinal supplements too.

this is the saddest Pluggers yet. We recently had a check up for renewal of the scripts we take and our doctor was impressed that the list was so small. We like him. He avoids adding meds to the list if possible.
