Your meds & proper temperature

[Guest guest]

As mentioned in a previous post, I had a really tough time keeping my meds at

the proper temperature on my road trip cross-country. At home, I keep a supply

of small bottles of water in my freezer and another supply in my refrig. When

leaving the house, even if its just to go to the super market, I have developed

the habit of carrying one frozen bottle and one refrig bottle in a two pouch

cooler. I was OK on the start of my trip because I had several frozen bottles -

but once you're on the road living out the car or pitching a tent in

temperatures of 112 - even the huge bags of ice (which I stopped and bought

almost daily) - melts rather quickly. I had my separate cooler with the meds in

it - and I was packing ice constantly in that cooler and checking on the meds.

Leaving the car for any length of time, such as the Zoo or Seaworld, or any

place for that matter, gave me concern. There were many times, when I lugged

that particular cooler around with me - and it was a nuisance!

There's got to be an easier way ................

Just a reminder to everyone - *do not* leave your meds in a hot car!
