The Magic Bullet is... a Magic Bullet!

Forgive the long pause between posts. I've been conscious of the fact that while ranting keeps me from murdering, it can also be an invasion of other people's privacy. But I finally have something NICE to say, so I shall say it:

I am using a Magic Bullet blender system to grind up Betty's pills and turn them into smoothies, and she hasn't thrown up since! All credit goes to Kim, my friend and Betty's companion and driver, for the idea. It's absolutely brilliant--in the morning, I grind pills, add vanilla soy milk, strawberry syrup, a few teaspoons of unflavored fiber powder, and a cup of frozen fruit, then grind again. In the evenings I grind pills, add vanilla soy milk, chocolate syrup or powdered drink mix, and mix again. The difference in color is key--her morning and evening meds are different.

I went on ebay and bought extra blending cups and lids, and I can make 5 days of shakes at a time. Betty's doctor and pharmacist assured me that grinding and freezing won't make her medicine less effective. What a miracle, to pull a shake out of the freezer, thaw it in the microwave, and serve it. She's not wild about the taste, but it's drinkable, and when (not IF) she complains, I remind her that we can go back to swallowing a dozen pills... that ends the complaining.

THANK YOU MAGIC BULLET, FOR INVENTING A SMALL, EASY-TO-USE AND CLEAN, VERY POWERFUL BLENDER!
