Save the little plastic medicine cups from your hospital stay or ask for a bunch before you leave. They're perfect for mixing your crushed meds with a small amount of protein shake, yogurt, pudding. I've found this much more palatable than dissolving meds in water or crystal light. Also make sure you have a good pill crusher. I found a great one at Walgreen's. It has a big, almost triangular shaped cover which makes it easier to close tightly, so the pills are really crushed into a powder.
