Looks like a ball dispenser of sorts. Not golf balls.
Laundry balls (fluff/tangle balls)?

No - none of my meds are for treating an infection - one is for controlling high blood pressure - Ramipril - but now I've had my Mitral valve fix - I don't have high blood pressure any more -
Furosemide is a water pill - that stops edema or water retention - which I think is good - because I've had a little edema - gone now -
Edoxaban is a blood thinner - and stops blood clots happening -
Ezetimibe - lowers cholesterol - but I don't have high cholesterol - so that's odd -
Pantoprazole - is a gastro-resistant pill - and reduces the amount of acid in the stomach - but I've never had acid reflux or any stomach problems before - so that's odd too -
Makes me wonder why I was prescribed most of these meds -
I am not a doctor but I play one on tv.
Those meds look like mostly blood thinners to stop any clots from forming and plugging up your new ticker and the water pill is probably to keep your lungs from filling with water. Thats my best guess. 
Where do I send my bill? 
thanks for teaching us all about this awesome bird
or is it a fowl? or is it a super chicken!
/some of you old farts might remember this
im celebrating a b-day this month too!
may babies!!
so how old are they before they start displaying that beautiful plumage?
i like learning about new things
They start practicing as babies. The all try out their hiney feathers. It's cute -- sorta like little kids with Daddy's shoes on.
They really get going as teenagers:
Note all their neck feathers are green, like their momma's (she's the big one just to the right of her fluffed-up teenager. The boys' neck feathers turn electric blue when they mature.
Back when they were tiny, they stayed under mama. Looks like an 8-legged peahen:
Trivia: My back yard. See that little flame tree in the pic below just to the left of the mango tree with the pink mangoes onnit? Hold yer hat. That sumbitch now reaches from the Norfolk Island pines on the left to OVER the mango tree. It exploded.
The little tree in between the mango and the Norfolk Island pines (now 60 feet tall) is a pecan tree. It is not one inch taller, and is less bushy after 15 years. Pecan trees do not like "sub-tropical marine" <-- Official South Floriduh climate description.
Across that section of lawn, we've had a wild hog (which I shot and ate) several turkeys, foxes, otters, sandhill cranes (multi-colored examples) the usual racketycoons and iguanas, possums, rabbits, basilisks, a stink, and two lynxes... and doubtless other creatchy-poos I have not listed.
Here's a blurry foxie -- that's the macadamia nut tree behind his tail:

I take Amlodipine to relax my blood vessels and reduce pressure.
My total Cholesterol has always been around 130, yet multiple doctors have tried to put me on Cholesterol reduction meds. I continue to refuse because I don't want to take anything that I don't need, as well as their side effects.

Good Sunday morning and happy Mother's Day brothers and sisters! All hail Sol Rex and Mothers world wide!
Double gorgeous here again starting at 54F and predicted to reach 79F.
My tamaters and herbs are all planted, and I weeded around the rear walkway.
We are scheduled for a three generation of mother's brunch today, as well as one great granddaughter! You go girls!

Well, as you know, Scooter is a Board Certified doctor (that's sexy doctor talk for uptown smartypants)***. He tooken me aside and gave me the true skinny:
Once you have the first Afib flutter, caffeine in any amount, even from "decaf" sources -- can trigger Afib.
***Only @60% of doctors even try to become Board Certified. And only 60% of them make it. eg: Upper class of doctors.
For your knowledge box (in case you don't have this info bit) -- there is a stupid little pointy pocket in the upper left ventrical of your heart.
Nobody knows WTF it is for, but we do know that when you get that "flutter", that little pointy pocket does NOT GET THE BLOOD IN IT PUMPED OUT. The flutter is too fast for it to be emptied.
So your heart beats at 150 beats a minute, jamming that blood in there good and tight.
What does blood do when it is left in a puddle somewhere? Yup. It congeals into a clot, right? And when the Afib stops, and your heart starts acting normally, that clot breaks free and begins to roam around your bod.
When the clot gets to your brain, Goldhedge has a massive stroke and turns into a fucking zombie and dies.
Am I being clear, here? This is no time for humor, and nothing in the above is exagerrated.
Lissen to yer Unca who is alive and typing this becuz Scooter saved my life twice.
NO FUCKING CAFFEINE. AT ALL. <-- Not even from your sainted grandmother. Got it?

I was given pantoprazole after a procedure for my possible upset stomach.
I didnt take it because I have a agreement with my stomach which stands even after all these years
Good Morning Folks
OK. I have a confession to make. - Im not REALLY an old fart. I freely admit this because you old guys are scaring the hell out of me ! 
What with your bad lumbago and sprung sacryiliac. Not to mention the “oldtimers” that I think somebodys got. I have decided that I will just stay young and beautiful forever. 
Last week I sang ABBA songs all day long and now I keep hearing “Band on the run” in my head. I hope that is not a bad sign.
