Without a steady supply of meds, water and electricity, I wouldn't last a week, so my plan would be to lay low, sleep with a butcher's knife under my pillow, and wait for it to end before my stash of month's worth of meds runs out while half-starving on canned food. If things haven't stabilized by then, go on a murder spree until someone kills me.
Yeah medication is a pretty big Achilles heel.
I am fortunate that I do not YET have the need for maintenance medication.
At some point in my life however I very likely will.
When that day comes, I can only hope that things are more settled down than they are now.
Otherwise, I’ll have to really stock up on rat poison!
Fun fact: some of my meds are low concentration rat poison. But otherwise, unless you have a rat infestation, I wouldn't recommend it.
Yeah, warfarin was what I was referring to.
I expect to need a new aortic valve at some point, and I’ll likely need blood thinners.
So, rat poison it is!
