Roger had a busy day. Did too much and was overwhelmed with exhaustion this evening. And was a little grumpy.
I had a busy day and am sitting here at 12:15 a.m. wishing the day were 12 hours longer. Didn't get nearly enough done and am overwhelmed with the feeling of drowning in work. And am a little grumpy.
We read up on the new painkiller his doctor prescribed for Roger. Had to special order it at the pharmacy. As we both read the page after page of microscopic print, we were first startled by the instruction that all patients should start with 100 mcg dosage (Roger's doc prescribed 400 mcg!). Then we were startled...nope, wrong word....were freaked out/terrified/horrified when we read the side effects of the drug which first and foremost included respiratory FAILURE. Ummmmmmm, your system basically goes to sleep and stops breathing. FREAKY freaky stuff. So, we decided he would wait until he calls the doctor's office to double check the dosage. The problem is that Roger has been on so many painkillers for so long his system has a pretty high tolerance. The doctor readily admitted he wasn't sure what dosage to prescribed because Roger's system was so used to the stuff. Long story short, we'll wait to hear what the doctor's office says.
Gotta rustle my hubby and scoot him off to bed. its way to late for me. My brain is fuzzy...more than normal....
Happy thursday. xxooxx, a & r
