My sister has numerous orthopedic problems and fibromyalgia and has had numerous surgeries some to correct a previous surgery. So she has had her share of pain medicine. Because of the chronic problems she is on routine pain medicine that she sometimes takes to freely.S o last week she had to have a knee replacement removed because it was degenerating underneath. She was placed on Percocet. Wow! At first she was a zombie that was loopy. Her husband started watching how much medicine she was taking so she is now just loopy. So I had to babysit her today. It's terrible to watch your loved one just talk out of their head. She insisted on making phone calls and I knew it was just going to frustrate her because the person on the other end wouldn't know what was going on but she thought these things needed to be done. I didn't quite know how to say no you can't have the phone. I never thought I would have to babysit my sister for this.

When i took her to therapy today the therapist immediately saw something was wrong so he went and talked to the doctor who stopped the Percocet. But my sister will never understand why because she was to out of it to hear what the doctor said. She just doesn't understand because she doesn't have the capability at this point to. And blunt! She asked a lady next to her if she, the lady, looked that bad when she woke up! She told another lady who was heavy that she was never going to lose the 150 she needs to if she doesn't stop eating cookies. These are perfect strangers.
