Mom had a pretty good night last night. I gave her some of the medicine for pain at about 9p.m. She slept well for a while, but was restless and awake at about 3 a.m. I gave her something for anxiety then. Once again she went back to sleep and slept til about 6 a.m. That's when I gave her another dose of the pain medicine. It seems to be keeping her pretty comfortable. She's still refusing to eat more than a couple of bites of anything...and will only take sips of water at times.
She wanted to get up in the recliner for a little while. I think she gets tired of being in the bed. Although she's very weak, I put the recliner close to the bed so all she needed to do was basically stand a turn a little bit to sit. She's resting comfortably in the chair now. I keep offering her something to eat, but thus far she will only take a bite or two and that's all. She's occasionally thirsty and likes just plain water to drink. But...again...she's not taking in very much.
She's comfortable....and not worried or anxious...and that's the goal at this point.
