Jul 28: Too Hot for Meds

As I have written before (last week? the week before?), the temp in our little apartment is severely messed up. Average of 20 degrees difference between first floor and the one above it. I can feel the temperature change around the 7th step on the stairs.

We have lived here since 2019, and it has NEVER been this bad. I am tempted to sleep downstairs in my chair just because it is cooler.

I bought a couple of 'personal a/c units'. Finally deĺlivered last week. Worthless. Near to impossible to turn on, and same to stay on. Going to return them.

When I picked up Weslee's med container to prepare them for the next week, I couldn't believe how warm the container felt. Some pills have started sticking to each other.

I immediately googled what the best temperature is to keep meds. Unless I moved all of our meds downstairs, they will become less and less effective.

Is this a possible contributor to the increase of Weslee's seizures?

Possible solutions:

  • Place meds in cooler (which I would need to buy)
  • Keep them downstairs, which will be a big ole pain in the hiney
  • Two medium boxes, lined with towels and bubble wrap (which I have)
  • Medication fridge (which I would need to buy)
  • Bug the apartment manager again

Thoughts?
