Remember it was a "swallow therapist" who suggested it, not a doctor. Presumably mashed potato, fish pie (CW fave), most puddings, etc. would do the job?
After more years of pushing pills than I care to consider, and having heard every story about 'I can't take that, you'll have to crush it / break it into small pieces / take it away / give me liquid instead / hand them to me one at a time / I can't take it with applesauce, jam, honey but only [insert obscure soft food here]' I'm actually rather pleased that Mrs KPerkins has acknowledged her need for something with which to send the meds down.
And why do I suspect that a swallow therapist makes twice what I do, yet couldn't identify linezolid or K-Dur at 20 paces?
