Okay now. May have gotten a couple clues as to why Mom was so dopey and disconnected today and yesterday. She fell out of bed late Sunday night early Monday morning (off the Whamo Slip and Slide mattress) They gave her percoset for the pain, somewhat understandable, however they followed that up with another percoset Monday afternoon and then another percoset this morning at 8 A.M. !! ARRRGGGGHHH!
That's three persosets in basically 24 to 30 hours. Stoopid with a capitol Stoopid!
So I told the nurse on duty to discontinue that completely. Will review with doctor on thursday at our meeting. The percoset would explain the shakes/tremors that I have observed over the past two days.
She is supposed to be on Tramadol every 6 hours for pain and has the okay to ask for a 50mg Tramadol PRN.
Clearly some notes/meds/doctor orders have been carried over from St. Francis that were relevant and necessary when she was there but are not at this point.
Update more on this tomorrow.
