HE round two |
Jun 06 2012 |
It sneaks right back in the door, before you realize it. Same schedule, same lactulose and xifaxin, same bowel movements, and you change up pain meds....It's Back! HE starts with a bitof groggy voice, followed by lack of appetite. Then he wakes up without a depend and feces everywhere! Sleeps 12 hours, during the day, and I imagine, will be up all night again tonight. Problem is worse as Jim has yet another doctor's appointment tomorrow. Dr. Lawson is not happy with the heavy duty pain medicine. Of course, Jim thinks even with all the drugs, he cannot stand the pain. He needs therapy and to get back on his feet. According to Lawson, the best thing for him is exercise and to build muscle mass. He wants Jim walking with a cane or walker. I cannot even get him to stand. Appointment with the nurse practioner tomorrow. What can she do? Meds work? Meds too strong? I am getting so frustrated. Need to pray as there is nothing else I can do. Praying for myself, too...that I can sleep a bit this night!
