Not quite as bitter as not growing old!

so many pills for so many ailment relief and additional nutrition

Been to Simpsonville,S.C.

Actually a handful of them…

At least it’s no piece of cake

My wife is taking an oral antibiotic that we almost have to make her take at gun point it tastes so bad.

My doctor; “It sucks getting old.” A geriatric specialist.

That should be ‘pill(s)’ and multiple times a day but, at least, it keeps us ‘alive and tickin’ ! ! ! !

Glad I don’t have to do that .

myself….

Beats the alternative…

Beef up on with, recommended, daily vitamins, minerals, and walking and most will do very well.

which one?

I wish the old thing was the only pill I had to swallow?

Everyone says “alternative is worse.” I guess they mean suppositories.

As long as you can dole out your own pills correctly every morning, you’re doing okay IMHO.

YEAH it is..

Be okay if it was just one or two.. but by the handful gets to be too much

One comforting fact though.. if you can still read the label.. and, remove the cap you still are not “that” old.

And they all seem to go down sideways!

pillS

I must be doing something wrong because the older I’ve gotten, the fewer pills I’m taking. Fifteen years ago, I was on 10 different prescriptions. Now I’m on just 3.

That should be ‘pills’, not pill.

Yep!!!

The cost of those pills is beyond bitter. The state of the (w)healthcare system in the US is too hard to swallow.

More like ten or eleven bitter pills to swallow … every day.

Old age is not for wimps or sissies!

Some might say that, at 62, I’m not old … all I know is I’m not on any med’s, I drink moderately, smoke a cigar occasionally, and don’t seem to have too much worry since my last divorce … Raise a glass!

Lots of bitter pills.

And yet, a capsule like this plugger is staring at has almost no taste at all.
