Well finally convinced the docs to resume the requip (med for restless legs) of course this was after a horrible afternoon and evening yesterday and no sleep last night. Was up at 1:00 am walking the halls and then again at 7:00am walking the floors. He is still dealing with the burns in his throat and groin area from the chemo. Poor thing is in such distress. We did another walk in after the docs left and got his shower and lathered everything up with medicine he decided to stay laid down in the bed for a little while after we put medicine on and he took medicine to coat his throat and cough medicine. They have put him back on pain meds morphine now as needed for pain --I have my doubts about this but I spoke with the nurse who has been here for 7 years and she said it is a very low dose and is much different than it being continuous like the dilandid was. I sure don't want to go back down the road we were on Saturday night.
So say a little prayer this doesn't go the wrong way.
Let us hope for a more restful night. Walking the floors at 1am in a hospital does not sound romantic or fun. Lower dose of pain meds should not give him trouble, and the relief will help sleep and disposition.
