My Mom stayed the night last night for the first time. Dad was afraid of another bad night like the one he had Monday night. Apparently, he finally fell asleep around 2:30 am. He was just up and down like a jack in the box, my Mom said. They gave him something to relax him at 10:00, but it didn't take him down until 2:30am! Crazy.
I can't imagine knowing that your mind is messed up and living it. It must be how alzheimer's patients feel. It's disturbing.
The doctor saw my Mom this morning already and said he really expects this "cloud" that my Dad's in to lift any time. Dad hardly used his pain medication last night, so hopefully, his mouth is feeling better, or he just forgot - who knows. With the medication working it's way out of his body, we should start to see the Dad we all know and love resurface soon. Keep your fingers crossed!
