doing better
I have had two visits from Home Health so far, one Tuesday, one Friday. Next visit will be Tuesday. I have been making satisfactory progress according to them.
I have 7 prescriptions that I have to take daily, plus 81mg aspirin, plus a pain killer to be taken as needed. 5 of the scripts are 1X per day, one 2X per day, and one at bedtime. As of Friday, one of the daily pills is to be cut in half. I've got a weekly pill planner, with 2 slots for each day.
Has anyone here ever had to take half a pill? Is it better to cut them all at once, and put each half in its day, or should I cut one every other day. (will be checking with pharmacist.)
Walking is up to ~12 minutes 2X per day, plus walking around the house. (walking is supposed to have started @ 5 minutes 2X per day, increasing 1 minute per day. I've been pushing that a bit.)
The new thing I gotta pay attention to is eating. I've been using MyFitnessPall to track my food for several months, trying to lose weight. for awhile, I had gotten down below 230, though the day of the surgery, I had gotten up to 235. This morning, I was at 218. 0.o
I had > 700 calories left yesterday.
Not getting all that hungry, which is a side effect of some of the drugs (or make food taste odd.)
Not needed the pain killer that much.

On the pill issue, checking with your pharmacist or doctor is always a good idea, but in the past I've had to take half pills before and usually I just cut them the day I needed one. That said, there's no reason I can think of why doing a few ahead (say a week) would be a bad thing. It won't harm the pills / has never harmed any pills I've had to do this to.
