LATHROP, Mo. _ Dorothy, not long awake, her morning hair geometric, stands alone at the kitchen island. A jumble of plastic jars and amber medical vials is clustered in front of her like a miniature cityscape.

"Morning, sweetie," Barney says, walking in from the barn. "You're up earlier today." He hangs up his coat, moves to the dishwasher, begins putting plates away.

Staring at her pills through round, oversized glasses, Dorothy barely looks up.

"Early?" she says. "I guess."

She fidgets with her vials. Nasonex and Zyrtec for allergies. Wellbutrin for depression. Actonel, osteoporosis. Lipitor, cholesterol. ACTOS, diabetes. Exelon and vitamin E for Alzheimer's.

This is the routine.
