Have you kept any of your disposable medication cups from the hospital?

  I did, because just as when I leave a hotel, I take things with me.   

I used them in the hospital (Ottawa Civic) for sipping water, and meds were delivered in them.

Nine and a half months later, I still use them daily.  No, not for water, silly *grin*, but I do use them perhaps once a day if I'm taking my bedtime supplements and meds to the bedroom to swallow them there, or to another room to consume them with the water I have there.

I thought I'd just put the meds/vitamins/supplements in my hands, but you know?   These wee plastic cups remind me that (a) these *are* medications -- I need these vitamins and supplements every day of my life, at specified times, for the rest of my life post weight loss surgery and (b) I am doing just what I'm supposed to do for the continued betterment of my health.

So, yeah, it's a goofy thing, and possibly a goofy post, but in a way, it's another NSV in my life.

Cheers, eh?

mmm

Yep, I use them every day and find them perfect for measuring one oz of tuna etc. Also use them for meds. The nurse was super and gave me a bunch before I left =)
