Leeanna Gantt was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2017, only weeks after her daughter was accepted to the college of her dreams and three days after Christmas.
Tooktake Inventor Leeanna Gantt
Leeanna had to take pain medication, anti-nausea medication, cough medicine, heart burn medicine, and numerous lotions and creams for rashes and reactions for four days following treatment, one once a day and twice a day to minimize bone pain, as well as other pain medication, anti-nausea medication, cough medicine, heart burn medicine, and numerous lotions and creams for rashes and reactions.
Memory Problems
It was impossible to recollect if Leeanna had taken everything and when she had done so. When she was on her own and had to take anything, it was the worst. Leeanna was frequently confused about the day of the week and the time of day, so she would have trouble remembering if she had taken something or just assumed a few minutes later. Everyone was worried since, if it was for pain or nausea, Leeanna wouldn’t be able to take it for another 4 or 6 hours.
Tooktake Beginnings
Leeanna began producing little labels out of sticky notes early in the therapy, identical to the ones she had previously created to remind me to take my pills. For daily, twice-daily, and hourly timetables, Leeanna used different colors.
It gradually evolved into a user-friendly system that made everyone’s life easier. She used her small sticker system when her dog got an ear infection and needed ear drops twice a day. Anyone who saw her shake her head in the morning or evening could tell if she’d taken her ear-drops or not just by looking at the label on the box.
