Big Pharma got me
Getting ready for work this morning, I decided to pack up a couple pills so I could have them when I ate breakfast at work this morning.
I had a horse sized glucosamine pill (they're for joint pain relief due to my running), a multivitamin, and then an advil. I started taking the glucosamine because apparently it helps with joint cartilage, the advil because my knees were sore from running earlier in the morning, and the multivitamin just because I'm probably not getting enough from the soda I drink.
I stared at the pills all lined up and had to mentally memorize what each of them were for big white one is glucosamine, orange one - vitamin, little round one - advil.
I then realized that I was going down the road of aging in america.
It was quite disturbing...where big pharma has us taking a multitude of daily pills. The image of my parents 'drug drawer', where they keep their stash for cholesterol, high blood pressure, arthritis, etc, etc, etc.
I need one of those old people pill boxes that have a compartment for each day of the week.
In other news, I'm psyched for a trail race I'm doing this Saturday. There's 3 or 4 of us who are going to run the 10miler, so it will be fun to be running with guys who run the same speed. The course has a lot of hills, so that will make it extra challenging.
Take Care®,
Vic
