[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 283186, member: 4264"] I hear ya Janet. I've tried different methods to keep track, including the weekly boxes etc. Now my SO has sort of just voluntarily taken it over. He just pops up throughout the day dropping pills into my hand or beside my cup of tea lol. He always knows what I need when, what I've taken, whats left. I don't even look anymore, I just pop em in and down them and try not to dwell on how many or what lol. As for rainbow colored, I do have have one lovely medication that is not a daily, just as needed, that makes me pee brighter than an orange creamsicle!!! I kid ya not! It's actually kinda neat. Except my tongue goes this weird brown color and you can't wear contacts because the lenses would be stained orange apparently?!?! I've given up on my not working right hands and contacts anyhow, sticking to my glasses. Contacts only for special occassions. As for the trip, it's going to be a LOOOOONG day. Right now my legs are doing much better (knock on wood) and some new medications seem to be helping them. I do know I'll be on the couch for a few days after, but I"ll be able to tough it out (with breaks through the day, the teacher knows and understands) in order to enjoy the mini getaway with easy child. She gets really sad when I don't join her in so much that we used to do together. I try really hard to always "supervise" her school outings. Apparently this time her teacher said during the free time (in between organized things like lunch, IMAX film etc) instead of my supervising a group, easy child and I can just do our own thing in the science center together, then band back together for the group activities. So I have a group of one , my own easy child, for much of the day :) :) :) She's super excited. It feels good to do things with her when I can, she's not got the mama she once had. She loves everything we do together now. We've taken to short morning Sat. and Sun. walks to nearby garage sales. Little mom/daughter lunches or movie outtings without SO or difficult child.
