Guest guest Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I found all the political interest interesting. I think we often keep up on current events simply because we are often immobile and the tv is often our companion. Anyway, I wanted to post and say my father passed away on christmas morning. In my heart I have to remember he suffered and never was out of his hosp. bed for 1 1/2 years. (His artifical hip had to be removed b/c infection). He was 89 and I miss him and still grieve. Now my mom of 87 expects the same amount of attention they had. We will be there when she needs us. Anyway, after it was all over, I literally came home and the pain, spasms, depression, etc. hit full force. Because of the drive I found a local dr. who took me but only gives me the fentynl patches 75m.g. Nothing for breaktrough pain (I was on Ms.Contin ER, plus 180 Hydrocodone 10's, muscle relaxers, etc. I got my rx yesterday and started crying at the thought of sticking that thing on me again. After the first day they irritate my skin, fall off, and I end up with scratches wherever I put it. I don't know what to do. My old pain management specialist was 100 each way, but he was well worth the drive. Any advice welcome. in Arkansas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
