Adjusting meds in different time zones is a challenge!

We have now left the UK and have arrived in Singapore for a few days. Being in a different time zone, it makes it difficult to keep to my ‘morning, lunch and dinner routine.

Leaving from the UK I took my lunchtime meds at lunch in London. We flew at about 9pm and had dinner at the airport before flying. Then bedtime meds in the plane as we had a sleep on the plane. Woken up and given a meal – not sure what it was lunch or dinner – then arrived at Singapore around 6pm.

We have now arrived in Singapore and it is the same day of the week and again it is dinnertime. I can’t take another dose of dinnertime meds as it may not be safe.

So, after discussion with my husband, I have decided to start fresh at breakfast with my first meds. This will mean a long time between meds. A time to rest how much my meds are essential to my functioning perhaps!

Tomorrow we will know the wisdom – or lack of it – of the plan!

I am a retired Social Worker having retired in May 2024. I had been a Social Worker for over 20 years and for the sake of my health and wellbeing I chose to retire early. I have some literary projects underway and am enjoying the freedom of no longer working. Working on my projects at my own pace and enjoying my new hobby of lawn bowls is a wonderful thing. No regrets and a new kind of busy in retirement is wonderful.
