Dilemma!

Thank you for taking the time to provide the most clear and pragmatic suggestion, Jan. Most appreciated. If only I had a piano ;-)
I would have consumed all the liquid medication by now, only I thought that retaining some just might keep the pear alive long enough for a solution to arrive.
I have plenty of electrical wire and some brazing rods, but as yet, nothing of the in-between springy stuff. However, I intend to try and find some and follow your directions before too long.

It is not nice to laugh at another person's dilemmas, Ulrich ;-))

Having found a website which sells these bottles full with the necessary at a cost of 65 euro, I think I will pass on your suggestion, Keith.
Jan put forward practical suggestions (above), so I'm now on the lookout for some piano wire. If you come across a suitable length, about a metre long, I would appreciate you emailing it to me!

Merci pour ton commentaire, Josiane. Je suis heureux avec le liquide; Cependant, je pense juste que ce serait une expérience merveilleuse de consommer le fruit sain complet avec les médicaments qu'il contient.
Aussi, je suis un sentimentaliste ;-)
