Small Success!

Wanted to share a good story with y'all.

I asked the pharmacist the other day if memantine can be ground up. She and her colleague said it could. Monday we had an in-home caregiver for a while and she said you can use two spoons to grind pills. I tried it today and mixed it in applesauce for mom and she ate it all up!

Pills are so stressful for everyone so I'm glad my first try was successful. She got her pill and a treat and no one got stressed. (Well I was stressed trying to grind the pill but that'll get easier as I get more practice 🤭(bashfully laughing))
