On a schedule

My mom had Alzheimer’s and dementia.
Or maybe only one of them.
But I think both, because the Alzheimer’s made her forget about the dementia and the dementia made her forget about the Alzheimers.
Both made her forget to take pills.
I’m got her one of those newfangled robots to dispense pills on a schedule.
She put a cozy over it like a tea kettle or a toaster.
Plus she would never remember to replenish the pills.
And the nurses were so used to handing out pills, they forgot too.
Now it dispenses M&Ms on a schedule.
She likes those.
