How long before we can swallow whole pills

[Looking Ahead 239]

I have a question... How do you crush your pills. My Vitamin B 12 is hard and large. I tryed crushing it in a coffie cup with the end of a butter knife. That didn''t work. Its my largest pill and right now I have no problem with any size pill. I have not yet had my surgery, its on the 11th of Jan. I was just "practiceing."

I bought a pill crusher at the local pharmacy. I think they have them at Walmart too

I've been swallowing pills whole since before I was released from the hospital. They need to be pretty small, or broken in half. Of course, capsules have to be taken whole. I have to take them on an empty stomach, and about an hour apart. I use chewable vitamins, sublingual B12, and the rest I swallow whole.
