Howz your memory?
Mines awful ... just awful.
So back in the day when I started on T-blockers (spiro) and I had to take it twice daily, it was a problem.
Firstly, because on occasion I would forget to take a dose, but more often (and annoyingly) I would take the required dose, but then 3 or so hours later not be able to remember ...
did I take it? ... or did I forget (again)?
So I started writing things down
A reminder for each day of what and when I should take it
and after doing what was required I ticked it off the list.
Simple but effective answer to having a bad memory.
Then I added Estrogen into the mix ... continued writing everything down and all was well.
then ... cos I have masochistic tendencies I wrote a very 'Quick & Dirty' computer program to print stuff off every week.
( Back in the 80's I used to spend hours and hours writing in Pascal ... MS-Dos 3.3 (I submit the best Dos EVER released and Borlands Turbo Pascal V.4 ... Oh ... them was the days ;-)
But I'm not a complete dinosaur so my Q & D Program was written in Vis Bas.
Everything worked fine.
Go me!
Fast Forward to the GIC (leeds) and the Doc changed the Oral estro to Patches (every 4 days)
No problem
just modify the code and 'Robert was your Mothers Brother'.
easy!
Then I resolved to learn a new Language ... my choice? C# ... with DotNet ...
Now, I dont know about you, but I learn things much better If I 'Do' something rather then just 'Reading' about something ... So what to do?
I needed a project ...
and that dear reader brings me to the point of this long and rambling missive...
I wrote DaHRTs (Dilation and HRT scheduler)
If you want to just read the online Help files ...

Comments are welcome but please bear in mind that it was written for Fun as a Learning exercise.
Most people dont need something like this ... me? ... really, my memory is THAT bad ...
