UM SAMI (Taking medicine problems)

Huiam Adil & Amina Hasan 

So Umm Sami faces several daily challenges with her medication: she struggles to open pill bottles due to weak grip strength and often has trouble remembering her dosage times. The small print and excessive details on medication labels overwhelm her and strain her eyesight while tiny pills are difficult to pick up especially with her hand tremors. Sometimes her hand shakes while drinking, causing cups to break or water to spill which adds to her frustration and fear of making mistakes or forgetting a dose. Despite all these challenges she wants to remain independent avoid being a burden on anyone and dreams of continuing to explore the world with her grandchildren, teaching them about the customs and traditions she grew up with and sharing her stories and experiences 👵🏻
