I very rarely, but I have, forgotten to take my pills in the morning or the night... never at night, no. In the morning something happens, somebody phones me up and the day starts and I miss a chunk out of my life, if you know what I mean. And I can usually catch up later on in the day, if I remember. If I don't remember, I don't remember until I'm ready to take my evening pills, in which I would take my morning instead and skip the evening ones.
But to try and stop my life mid-day, at lunchtime, to remember to take a third lot of pills, if you like, is beyond me. It really upsets my whole day and I can't get into a rhythm. I very rarely, as I say, forget my pills in the morning or night and that's part of my method. But just to stop the day and take my water pills mid-day is an intrusion on my life because I'm doing things. You know, the day kind of hots up about mid-day! [laughs] You're either out shopping or, I don't know, it just doesn't work. It may sound very badly organised but that's the way life is.
...It just doesn't fit a style. I mean, what it means is that to a doctor, all right take them at mid-day and it'll solve your problems, but it doesn't, it creates problems for me. It means that my whole life is a pill-taking exercise, which I don't want it to be! It should be fitted in to my life. You can understand that? |
