Thanks everyone. It really helps to know that my paranoia in this case is reasonable rather than over-reacting.


difficult child is healing remarkably well. The road rash is clearing up more and more each day, especially on his face. difficult child no longer looks like he came in 3rd in an axe fight. Now he just looks a bit bruised and scraped up. And he's becoming more insufferable with each passing day that he's here. I've always noticed that patients starts to get grumpy and demanding, it's a sure sign that they're on the mend.


Susie, thanks for mentioning the lidoderm patches. I'm going to look into those, as they might be a better alternative for difficult child and pain management overall. He's been taking his medications (psychiatric, pain and antibiotics) properly and on schedule only because husband has been keeping hold of the medications, and staring him down whenever he takes them. No "cheeking" them and saving for later, or throwing away, or any of the normal nonsense he usually gets up to. Aside from the post-injury PITA, he's actually been a real treat to be around, now that he's fully and properly medicated.


He's got more doctor and dental junk to do this week, and with luck after that he can just get on with the business of healing and getting back to "normal".
