Irony

Today, I was thinking about how many pills I take per day. When I was little, I used to think about the handful of pills my great-grandmother used to take each day. She would pour them into her palm, throw her hand over her mouth, and swallow them in one gulp, without a single drop of water! Now that takes some practice.

I use nine different types of prescription drugs per day, both pills and creams. They treat everything from high blood pressure, to anxiety, to the control of acne and rosacea (how else do I still look 16?).

I often wonder when I became my grandmother. The only thing is, she was in her nineties and I am in my twenties! At least, I don't keep my pill bottles in a Zip Lock bag!
