Pill Crushing Question

I am not scheduled for surgery until February but am reading all of your stories so that I might avoid some of the pitfalls.

I take a lot of medications, mostly pills and some are huge. What is the best way to crush these in order to use them after surgery?

Some of your pills they may need to change into a liquid form if its a pill that can't be crushed..if so just purchase a pill crusher and it will be fine..its only for the first month

You can cut them down to the size of tic tacs

Thank you. I was wondering how small they had to be. I do have a pill cutter.

I don't know maybe it depends on your surgeon...cause I have some that are smaller than a tic tac and I still have to crush them..so your surgeons office will tell you all of that.good luck
