ok I understand,no way would my pharmacist or Neuro would let you mail a
cripth for morphine or fantanyl. But i'm closer to the neuro then your pt.
Bob and I have each other's power of attorney.Which means he can
pick up the morphinescrip,if i call it in leave my name birthdate leave her the dr.
name and my phone no. But she has been off for 3 months so the 2 Drs. that are taking her place are told by her nurse practioneror replacement drs. i have called..My Neuro teaches 3 days a week and see's patient's only 2 times a week..Most patien't should have power of attorney drawn up by lawyer put in hospital file..If your husband has passed away or no children,
or living relatives,you may have trouble getting what you want done..Living
wills last only so long in some states check with your hospital.
I have never been given enough morphine where i became addicted but it
took me 3 yrs. to believe that. I call 2 days ahead no sooner than that..
I get sick and have taken compazene with morphine if i have major surgery.
If you think a pump would work,please ask your pt dr. how they work any
infections so on don't blame you,everything that works on some well
we are all different. Bob except for sugery rarly takes more then Darvoct.
But when he fell and broke that bone in pelvis area he told me he hurt so
bad,i mean he could't sit had to lay down or stand up,but would scream
trying to sit down trying to go bathroom. I finally got him in pt hospital,
because I couldn't help him for the 3 months for it to heal..And we all
heal so different...I feel so sorry for you,my younger son can only take
1 kind of pain pill or he get's so sick. I would talk to him about a pump
just talk because it's always been looked after by home heath nurse.
Unless they changed that as well.
Karen my nurse called Dr on call can eat some baby food,sorry to break in.
Luck to you Billye my heart breaks for you...Hugs and we do love you. Sue
Going to watch movie with Bob than Superbowl.
