Thread: Need input - AD Mom needs hysterectomy - anesthesia concerns as well aspost op

I'm glad her pain was gone this morning . Unless it would change the way he treats her pain, I think I'd probably skip the PETSCAN unless you'd treat anything he might find during the scan. I'd make an appointment with a pain specialist for later next week in the event that her current doctor isn't willing to prescribe pain medications that are actually strong enough to help with the pain. Hopefully her pain will stay...

That's great! I'm so pleased! Maybe this is finally home for a while!

Tiffany, I will absolutely say prayers for your nanny and for you. I so hope she can find some relief from her pain. Please hang in there.

This is good because this is where remediation begins. Please do not inform the NH that this is going to happen. It is best if things take their natural course without...

I think that nursing home doesn't understand dementia - and I would definitely not put my mom there. Would they also say a 3 year old has a right to decide where they will live? Same same as far as ability to reason. Its actually cruel to try and make them make decisions, the frustration they feel because of their lack of ability to reason is very great. You can't force someone who's brain is broken to do things they used to be...
