Hi Susan T,  and thanks for sharing the better news re: your mother.

Blister packs--if I know what you mean--are hard to open sometimes.  I
wonder if you have tried  the containers with separate little compartments
which are usually labeled for the days of the week?  I got 7 of them, and
used white-out to cover the "day" labels, then wrote on the lids with
permanent marker the times at which Peter takes his meds.  I fill them for
a week at a time, and this system works for us.
He also takes a lot of different meds at different times, so I can
understand the confusion you feel!

As for satin sheets--they seem to help many folks--others find they can too
easily slide off the bed!
