She has a wee coctail of drugs in her syringe driver, they say one is anti sickness but dh hasnt asked what it is exactly.
She is still very very nauseous despite this.
I think that they need to review this and change it or increase it to maximum therapuetic dose.
Her commode arrived last night...after much pushing and insistiing by bil, she has obvious pain and discomfort when they try to sit her up to transfer her onto it. BIL feels ver very uncomfortable doing this for his mother. FIL is upset becuase he feels that he is hurting her unnecisarily as he doesnt know how to move & handle her correctly.
She needs to be in the Hospice, they said that they cannot do anything because it is weekend, and anyway there is no bed.
So, the nurses are going in 5 times a day. What if she becomes incontinent and they have to wait for the nurses to come to clean her up though?
The syringe driver is in her arm, so she is unable to lie on that side, she is becoming sore...we are told that the matress is "on order".
The syringe driver needs to go into her abdomen so that she can be nursed side to side.
Im frustrated, as a nurse myself, i feel i want to go, but i dont have that kind of relationship with the pil.
