[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 334843, member: 1233"] I hope this goes through. I have had a couple of responses not go through and I cannot post anything as a new thread. Not sure why. Anyway, if your cousin is only expected to live 6 months WHY should she go through rehab? As she is in real pain this would be incredibly cruel. ANY doctor suggesting that someone at the end of their live needs to go through rehab is a fool, a mean one at that. Detoxing from anything is bad. From pain medications it is grueling and very physically demanding. I question whether she would even have the strength to survive it in the shape she is in. Do you watch House? Last season ended with House in rehab. They showed a very sanitized version of detoxing. It is U.G. L.Y. There is NO point in putting your cousin through this. Finding the right dose and getting her moving, THAT is realistic and a worthwhile goal as it will let her live however long she has in a much happier way. Just don't let them put her in a detox/rehab situation. Please. Marg and GN are very right about pain medications. They have excellent points, though I doubt fentanyl is 80 times the strength of morphine. for one thing, there are no real equivalents in opiates. Hydrocodone is not X times weaker than oxycodone or whatever. My pain doctor says it does NOT work that way. I hope you can find ways to keep your cousin engaged. Maybe find a scout troop she can coach through something? [/QUOTE]
