Medicines

If there was a sudden emergency, and you had to depend on your personal supply of food and necessities, how long would your medicines last? Especially important are your prescription drugs. Have you stocked up? Consider talking to your doctor to see if you can have a three-months supply on hand.

I think about my Mother, who is on oxygen 24 hours a day. My parents live in snow country, with occasional power outages. My Mother has a machine that makes oxygen from the air, but it runs on electricity. She also has one bottle of oxygen that is used when she is out of the house. If their power is out for several days and the roads are blocked with snow, that one bottle of oxygen won't last long.
