This thing with the pain medications and sedatives infuriates me. I can't imagine dealing with the pain from the sort of injuries she's got without adequate pain medications. AND, at her age it is nothing more than elder abuse to let her suffer.
Is there any way you can switch doctors at this late date or is that prevented by nursing home policy?
Sheesh. At her age she deserves to be comfortable. Who cares if she becomes habituated to the medications? And, it's awful to expect her to do PT, get up and walk, all of that, without her being medicated.
Thank goodness that husband had a good pain doctor that medicated him properly and didn't have problems prescribing opiates for him.
