Way to go Donna!!! Im so happy you have become more assertive with being a caregiver. Sometimes thats necessary when the patient isnt cooperating with things they should. Im sure these small accomplishments have helped make you feel some relief.

By the way, I picked up a pill crusher at RiteAid that is very easy to use and it will crush the meds super finely so they can be put into water and down a tube (or concealed in food like yogurt or applesauce). Im sure any retail store that has a pharmacy offers something similar.

Pill crusher

Keep up the good work!!!
