[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 536073, member: 1514"] This is a really scary time. I am sure mother in law is thinking all the things Star is saying. Not that what I went through is anything near what mother in law is going through, I did have some of those thoughts as I was coming out of the coma. It was...wth? What happened? Did I get hit by a car? Heart attack? Am I dying? Am I dead? If Im dead, this is hell! I didnt believe anyone though I nodded my head a lot. I was so out of it. I couldnt understand anything at first. I was actually completely delusional. Your mother in law is probably much the same. I know when my uncle was dying of cancer, towards the very end he actually looked toward the end of his bed and said his mothers name like she was standing there and starting talking to her even though he hadnt been talking much at all in the last week or two. He died 30 hours later. I will tell you one thing you know the dose I am on with morphine and it doesnt knock me out in the least. I started out low. I am sure they would give her fast acting to see how she did with it. That does have a sedation effect and I do sedate on that. I have no idea what she gets for pain medication but there is one that is a 24 hour one that they could try for her on the very lowest dose called exalgo. I had to go off it because it was metabolizing through my system too fast. For her it might work wonderfully. Talk to the doctors. [/QUOTE]
