Keeping Track of Pain, Food & Medication

Last Weekend, Daniel Barcay came to Ojai to visit, and left me with a wonderful tool (from Google where he works) that I can use to monitor pain, medication, food, water and other odd notes I might add.

I have been writing in a small notebook, and that works OK, but with Google Docs, I can update it easily from my iPhone and it automatically timestamps the entry with the date and time. I simply check some boxes of frequently used amounts of my drugs, liquid nutrition, water and Juven, 'Targeted Nutritional Therapy that helps build and maintain lean body mass'.

I like it because now I can now make it available to all my different doctors to access it to help maximize my understanding and implementation of the medications, It can get pretty confusing!

VIEW THE SPREADSHEET HERE

Remember, the latest entries are at the bottom of this spreadsheet. At right is the Form I use to add details to the sheet (you can click on it to enlarge it). I like being able to change it anytime I need to. I can think of a couple of other uses for this application, too...
