pain med

[Guest guest]

hi,

pain meds are an issue and my mom who has been diagnosed with rehumatoid

arthritis for the last twenty five yrs and has had many broken bones, fell the

other day. her right shoulder is what they said in pieces and her elbow is

fractered too. in the er she seemed fine mind wise untill they pumped her up on

pain meds till she was incoherent for days. they released her from the hospital

to a rehab center with her urine dark ash colored and were giveing her morphine

(listed on board as anytime) they arent doing surery and her arm is in a

sling---because she was released they didn resume any physical theropy for the

last three days and they only do it if she wants to.

 

i told them to get her off the vicodin and they better see why her uriine is so

dark.which they had switched her to and cant take because it makes her out of

her mind as does many of the meds.

they cut it down and she sounds better but they arent getting her to move. her

reg pcp doumps her while she is in the rehab center and the dr there dosent know

her or care in my opinion.

 

My son in laws mom whom was jennifers husband, (my daughter we lost to

complication of chiari) works there so she tells me what is going on and

insuranse is the control factor in her care and most of the patients there.

i told them id sue if  they didnt get her care in order.

the maginesium im going to tell ask about.

 

my mom hashad broken bones all over her body i cant see how she has survrived

this way. she was even driving last week.

i just know to much pain meds inhibit her recovery as she wont want to try to

get better, she just want to lay there. also my daughter who has had the low

blood pressure, lately is a bit higher but goes bac down.f

her dr did order an mri which was (delayed for further notes) as no cause is

known going by the cardilogist, even though she has a first degree heart block.

and some sinus arrithmia v-rate variation and she has a pfo with left to right

flow and right to left flow-- her cardilogist is not doing his job to not follow

her as he says it isnt her heart causing her low pressure, i agree possible it

is from her chiari, but the pfo could pose a problem, they didnt measure it as

the pediatric dr told me he said hers opens and closes. I asked more questions

why he didnt measure it and he ended up hanging up on me and i was not rude,

just askeing why he wouldnt measure it.

i wrote him a note as to his unprofessional behaviour. i was not rude in the

note but very harsh as to his actions as a dr.

havnt heard bac of course.

thanks,

joyce
