I used a write on/wipe off calendar stuck on the fridge, that way I know when to stop any med, or how many days left to give it, and it helps me to know what day it is. I put a tiny square and the med name or names (if multiple meds for that time slot) or abbreviation next to it. In the corner of the calendar I made a key to the meds, like name, color, and amount (1/4, 1/2 or 1 tab) for quick reference cause I'd spend 1/2 hour just trying to read the darned bottles! Then after I give them, I check the box, and move the bottles to the front for the next dose, and set a kitchen timer for however many hours till the next dose. |
