ORGANIZING ALL MY MEDICAL SUPPLIES!

[@thefreylife]

How do YOU organize all of your medical supplies? Closet? Drawers? Baskets?

[@LupusPositiveLife]

I haven’t they are just all over havic 😂

[@sasham6486]

I organize all of my medical supplies in drawers but organized in wooden dividers

Dresser, a few 3 drawer storage, boxes, boxes everywhere.

I recently bought a cheaper version of the ‘Mary trolley’ aka the IKEA trolley that your vest lives on Mine has my diabetes supplies and combler and my tablets etc. Also the thermometer o2 sat pulsimeter and the remote for the 📺 Other stuff in clear plastic bins. Date checking is so important. I get a chunky marker and write the date clearly so it makes stock checking easier Used to work in a teaching hospital pharmacy as a stock checking assistant

[@julianathies8176]

I was watching an older video of yours where you said "There's no perfect magical pill to make the infection go away." (10/3/15 at about 12:00) It's so wonderful to see the impact of Trikafta. Makes perfect sense why you'd hold on to the boxes! Makes me hopeful that the medical community is continuing to work hard and we might not know what is just around the corner to help so many.

I had surgery today and my stuffed ollie was waiting for me when I woke up ! Best surgery buddy ever !

[@beckymoran321]

Ice the area after injection. That helps. Also, hydrocortisone cream in the fridge feels wonderful for the little bumps. Your medical supply closet looks great!

[@callabeth258]

It makes total sense to use tranexamic acid for a lung bleed but as a pharmacist I hadn't thought or heard of using it for that. In Australia it's most common use is to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding.

[@mcrchickenluvr]

A little life hack for keeping your medical closet and even your kitchen pantry organized. Get an over-the-door shoe organizer, the kind that has the plastic/vinyl sections, and put things like the alcohol swabs in. For the kitchen they work great for organizing spices, drink mixes, food prep utensils, sauce packets and whatever other small things you have.

[@Trekkifulshay]

Contact tracing is so important. Local to me a woman who was positive then went Christmas shopping at Walmart and took photos bragging about it. Thank you for keeping everyone around you safe.

[@jodiemorgan8063]

Thank the Lord for portable fans. I bought one as I can’t control my body temperature and I overheat so easily. They are the best and can be put in your bag. Mine is chargeable which is fantastic. I highly recommend one. 😊

[@Jamie_Winsh]

The amount of hacks you have learnt over years is so cool

[@hollyosgerby1901]

Your medical supply closet works well for you, Mary. Like anything, supplies get out of place from time to time, products expire and new supplies need to be ordered to replace outdated ones, so you need to go through your supplies periodically. You have a great system and you know how important it is to keep on top of what you have in your closet. Great job! God bless and see you tomorrow! 🤗❤️❤️🙏🏼😘🐕🐱

[@karenwood9593]

I feel like I brought you along to Feeding America today. I wore my red joy sweatshirt, warm enough to go outside to deliver meals and my " I choose joy cap", instead of a hairnet. I spread the word about the Frey Life and cystic fibrosis.

Good thing you are good at organizing, Mary, because you kind of have to be with all of your medical supplies. Thank God for Trafakta! (The flatbread red pepper lunch looked delish!) ❤️🇨🇦

Maybe add two strong magnets to help your cabinet door stay closed! Works for me.

I get it about having the lung function machine at home cold become a negative thing. In April I started with a 3 1/2 month bought of Asthmatic bronchitis. (I have moderate to severe asthma) I experienced the worse breathing that I have in life. Even worse then times I had pnemonia. So with the treatment my Dr also had me monitoring my o2 level. I found that I had the meter on my finger the majority of the day and I was obsessed with the numbers.

[@chroniclyfekb8342]

OMG. Felt like I was with you guys when you said Home Alone. My daughter and I watched Home Alone 1 last night and are in process of 2 now. Happy Holidays guys.

[@kerivandenbosch3375]

I’m so grateful that I don’t have all the medical closets and baskets but thank you for showing me how to organize them because I do take medications just not as many as Mary but like I said thank you for sharing it gives me some ideas how to organize for travel and other things.😁🤟🏻💜

[@erinfaul8494]

Where did you get that glass container for your emergency meds? I think that would work well for my medical cabinet x I love watching your medical organisation videos it helps give me ideas of ways to organise and change things up with my medical supplies x Thx you for sharing your life with us x

When I was tested in South Australia & I got this offical certificate that I got tested for Covid & I was like what am I suppose to do with it???? Frame it or what??? Lol

[@carolynlong9148]

Mary I will call you the great organizer. I have learned how to organize my medical supplies. I have carry on bags from the doller tree to hold my nebulizer medications and also my portable nebulizer that will go to work with me. I have my little pill container which has the days of the week on it. I have to say thank you Mary for giving ideas on how to keep medications. My most favorite thing is my little cactus bag that holds my nebulizer meds. I found it in the doller tree and yes was inspired by you Mary because I know you love cactus. Thanks for sharing you're day god bless.

How sweet are y’all love It!!! Home must for the holidays. Also I’m HAVE ESRD so supplies and Meds no stranger to. Love video thx

[@user-vm5ud4xw6n]

The extension cord for traveling is great. I use one with surge protection because you never know what the weather is going to be like. If you have a lot of stuff then a large plug that has plenty of outlets is a good idea. Some of those plugs cover over at least one outlet making it impossible to use every one. Have you thought of making up a computer list for each shelf? You could keep an inventory of how many items you want to have and how many you need, whatever works. Or make a list of how many items you want to keep on hand and then do your count for how many items are actually available. You could use one of those grease pencils. Just a thought. I imagine you already put new arrivals in back of what you already have so there’s reduced chance of expired items. Do you have a free clinic that would take donations for things close to expiring? I’m interested in knowing which one of the food delivery services you like the best since you’ve tried several. Any thoughts? Thanks for sharing!

My medical supplies are out of control too. I have like 5 boxes of supplies I need to go through and organize. Between my ostomy, central line and feeding tube I get so many supplies each month. I also have been stocking up for the new year for when the deductible and out of pocket reset.

[@natashak1439]

[@fragilefleur]

I have plastic shoe box and slightly larger sized boxes. I have one with the weekly meds. One with backups and extras of weekly meds and less common but need to be handy. Then on top I have an open bin with the ones you might grab in discomfort that happens often like pain or nausea or anxiety meds and stomach med. in that I have some tissues, lotion and my daily meds box. My meds like those all live on a bedside “table” which is actually one of those wire microwave carts with three shelves. I can do a photo if you are interested. The other supplies like first aid, orthopedic and sick time meds go in plastic bins under my bathroom sink and I have a box of knee brace supplies, hiking and socks go on a shelf in my bedroom in shoe boxes and baskets from Micheal’s. They don’t match but are neat and I can find things. I use a knee brace and walking pole to walk my dog and they go by my front door with dog walking stuff like leash and dog jacket and my most commingle used jacket. I prob need to get back on cpap I have in a separate bin with head straps and extra filters tubes and etc parts. I keep the manual and the less needed stuff in its transport case in my clothing closet top shelf. LOL. But yeah my microwave cart night stand is my med supply cart. Oh I also keep a covid or other illnesses bin under bathroom sink so I’m prepared with asthma supplies, cough meds, thermometer, Tylenol. I also keep in my kitchen a sickness bin of like chicken and Stars soup, Gatorade, crackers and easy Mac and cup version mashed potatoes for gentle on stomach type needs foods. I made ahead some real mashed potatoes and froze in “dose packs” in my freezer in baggies. Lol. Really basic first aid is in a bin and simple bandaids and antibacterial stuff for a standard day cut is just in a drawer in my bathroom also. At one point I had so many sinus and asthma supplies I put them in a closet drawer rack in one drawer. I now try not to let them overload me on extras bc they risk expiring and take up much needed storage space. Your supplies look nice and neat. My partner used to have so many immediate need supplies so I wanted to get an actual cabinet that could go in the bedroom and closed so we didnr have to look at them but they were immediately avail. We had some in bathroom also that were needs and I made a box for those also haha. It’s crazy how much space this stuff takes up if one or more in the house have chronic illness.

[@coraliedubois5890]

Are you going back on IVIg? Did it get approved?

[@patriciasmith8205]

Mary would you have more room if you put the door to your medical room, if you done it so the door opens outward in stead of inwards, then you could store more things where the door would have opened inwards, just a thought...xx

Try contacting local animal rescues. A lot of them have animals that are on medications for various things like mange and heart worms and all the other stuff that comes along with rescued fur babies. Most of them will gladly take things like that.

I have a question for Mary: you said that you put medications through your J-tube. Are there some that you take orally? Because I’ve seen you take your pancreatic enzymes orally. How do some meds work orally and some you have to take through your feeding tube? (Ok, that was two questions 😉)

[@shadowfigure3749]

Positive vivid test?! If you mean Covid test, you can't find it because it doesn't exist. About nine months ago Mary and Peter both got really sick with a virus. Mary was tested for Covid as a precaution. It was not positive. They got better and they got tested for Covid antibodies because Mary's immune system doesn't work right and her test might have been a false negative. There is no one video. Mary was sick for at least ten days.

[@FkD814]

@@shadowfigure3749 so why is she acting like she was positive for it? There's been a few vlogs like that

[@josymarie4327]

@@FkD814 Since no test came back positive, she seems to suspect a false negative here, but in this one it was more like "When they thought we could have it, they told us to... But it was not necessary anyways". At least I think so.
