Just a spoonful of sugar...

I am always struck about the joys of aging. Well, on Monday, I was struck with having to pick up three prescriptions at once... and I hadn't had surgery or a tooth removed or anything major. This is only maintenance! You know, as the engine gets older it needs more attention to keep it going so you don't notice the age. And have I complained about how difficult it is to find sugarless Robitussin? When I see it now, I buy all that is on the shelf. Another problem, it only comes in small bottles! Oh, and the blood sugar thing is the reason for one of the prescriptions. The nasal spray the allergist gave me turned out to be steroids which raise my blood sugar, so I had to have that changed. Also, when I picked up the prescription there was a new warning - you should have a medic alert bracelet. Why didn't anyone tell me that before? If steroids raise my blood sugar, of course I need a medic alert bracelet or necklace. Another expense and I still don't rack up enough to deduct anything from income taxes. I suppose I should rejoice. I've never picked up three prescriptions in my life. I guess this might occur more often. Oh joy! And jewelry for medical reasons. There is just too much joy these days!
