Stuck Pill

First thing this morning I took my AM pills the way I do every morning. Oops. one got stuck in my throat. Oh NO. There it sat until it dissolved somewhere in the throat. No matter what I did it refused to go down where it belong. It sat there slowly dissolving and causing the bitter taste to rise to the mouth. Finally it cooperated and slide down to the area it should have gone in the first place. I have not had this happen before. It's not a fun experience. But, now I am happily enjoy a wonderful cup of coffee. Today it will be the same old same old - crafting, napping, and writing. The hubby will be finishing the floor so I am relegated to the bedroom so I don't walk over what he is doing. That's ok. I have everything I will need for the day. What's going on with you today.

I'm sorry the pill wouldn't go down. I hate when that happens.

It's good to have a drink of water before taking pills. They slide down much easier. I've gagged mine up before I learned this tip. Enjoy your day!

Maybe you could smash those pills and take them with something to eat .... I'm horrible with pills.

It was a capsule and they did not recommend it. I do however crush other pills in applesauce. Good suggestion.

It's horrible I wonder why they all taste so bad. I keep a cookie to eat soon after when it happens.

@HazySue They all taste horrible, they should find a way to avoid that they melt in your mouth.

You would think they would be able to find a way to make them taste better.

Once in awhile that happens to me when I take my vitamins in the morning. Glad you finally got it to go down and had some coffee afterwards. Hope your husband gets the floors done without too much trouble. Enjoy your crafting, writing and napping

I hate when that happens. Usually hot coffee will help push the pill down.

I worked the day you write this but today I got a lot of tax stuff done for our employees. I still have some left for the business though but I have until months end of needed. Then I'll work on finishing our the year with income and expenses for the business but that won't be today I don't think unless I remain in the mood. I take for pills each day and one is very small and gets lost in my throat or mouth most days. At least it dissolves quickly and doesn't leave the aftertaste but I always wonder if it did go down or not. In the text your have pillows instead of pills in case you want to edit that.

@HazySue if I'd do what needed to be done I would be but I tend to procrastinate somewhat which doesn't help.

I hate when that happens. It happens quite often with some of my uncoated pills. Nothing going on here.

Sorry about the bad experience. It does taste bad when the medicine has to dissolve in the mouth
