Nodding off and exhausted

Mom is sleeping. She's in terrible pain. The Percocet makes her throw up, as does the Keflex. She decided to forgo the Kelfex.

I got on the phone and had her doctor paged. He prescribed Vicodin (ha!) and some kind of anti-nausea in suppository form. OK, there are definitely points where I only go so far in my in my nursely duties.

The surgery itself went well, but it was an extensive repair and therefore painful. I just don't see how she's going to get through this without help.I'll call her insurance on Monday and see if she can get a home health aid.

OK, I've taken my meds and I'm visibly swaying. Off to bed. More later.
