[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 651840, member: 3419"] They totally overdid it with-the pain medications. First, they took her off of everything, and I mean everything, incl. her psychiatric medications, because her blood pressure was so low. You can't just completely go cold turkey off of psychiatric medications. So many of you here know that from personal experience. Add to that the fact that she is elderly, and it's a recipe for disaster. Add to that, putting the medications back in, and it just gets worse. I visited her twice today, once when the ambulette brought her back to the nursing home, and she was totally spaced out, and the second time much later in the afternoon, and she just would not wake up except for a few seconds of garbling and mumbling. I'm concerned that her fluids will get so low, that will send her into a tailspin. I always sleep with-my cell phone nearby ... [/QUOTE]
