Funny how sleep, food, water and stress are all things that even with all the technology and medicine won't make a difference if you're not getting the most basic needs met. I'm glad you got some good answers and can focus on what you can do to improve matters. Plus you have them written down so you won't forget in the drug induced haze. This will give you some control in what seems like a helpless situation. Rest well, I'm trying to get some books on CD from the library for you:-)Darling Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08799545617097194488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6486426878066949542.post-57262662797121084762008-10-26T08:59:00.000-05:002008-10-26T08:59:00.000-05:00I'm so glad you're getting the pain managed and th...I'm so glad you're getting the pain managed and that the sleep issue is under control. When you wrote before about the meds you were on, I recalled that both Oxycontin and Oxycodone give me insomnia, so that's great that they gave you something to address the lack of sleep.<BR/><BR/>And, I also had memory and comprehension issues when I was on a lot of meds several years ago. I found that I couldn't do simple math - like figure out how many bills to give a cashier - and when I'd go to the doctor's office to discuss my craziness, I'd leave with yet another Rx and not remember the conversation. It's really important to have your family or someone there for your pivotal doctor visits and you're very lucky to have your parents care.<BR/><BR/>Now that I'm relatively germ free, I'll get in to see you soon. *hugs*Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
