What a Wally I am

I am on a course of antibiotics for the abscess I have on my gum.

I thought I would be clever and set up my mobile to ring to alert me when I need to take each tablet.

Alert sound goes off I drink the large glass of water recommended by the tablet makers. About 20 mins later I look at the empty glass of water and see lying at its side of it the tablet which I should have taken. [ hmm]

Do you ever do anything as silly ?

DH has to take a few tablets at breakfast time, some of them quite small.
This morning he put them out ready on the kitchen worktop then disappeared as the phone was ringing. I cleared the plates and accidentally plonked them on top of the tablets which stuck to the bottoms. When DH had finished on the phone he offered to do the washing up shock

'What on earth are these funny blue things floating in the sink?' he yelled.

hmm grin

Just the sort of thing we all do Nankate - my OH is on a huge raft of drugs and I bought him a wrist watch that you can programme to beep every time he is due to take a drug. The only problem is that he has become so used to the beeps that he just switches the them off each time, but forgets to take the tablet!!

You have both made me feel better. flowers

Hopefully my 10 o'clock tablet will be gulped down as per instructions.

Thank you, Nankate. You have just reminded me to take the tablets I should have taken a couple of hours ago.
