Re: Tommie, pain meds

[Guest guest]

We got Mama home just hrs. before the flood hit Atlanta. she is not doing very

good. she is so weak and very sore from the CPR. She is complaining of more pain

from that than her surgery where they changed out her pacemaker for a

pacemaker/defibulator. I know after Beth Aspirated and went into reparatory

arrest her chest was sore for a month afterwards.

She is having periods of confusing. and she is blaming us for her pain had we

not made her go for the defibulator she would not be hurting so. she is in the

latest stages of PH so the most she can have for pain at home is hydrocodone

10. which may sound like a lot to some. but my Mama has a very high tolerance to

meds. it just her lungs doesn't anymore. They gave her Morphine before the

surgery, and dilaudid after the surgery. and you could see her o2 sat going down

as soon as it hit her system. and while in the hospital she was on 4 liters of

O2.

anyways. I had already went to be and I thought I started that email reply to

Tommie this morning I guess I should go finish it. I ask that all Keep my

parents in your prayers.

thanks, Jena

Re: Jena, pain meds

Sorry to sound stupid but what do you people mean by " I take this for
