Date: April 16th, 2018 11:20 PM Author: Domesticated dopamine stage my mom went from doing ok-ish and doing infusion chemo to basically on death's door over the course of the weekend. hospice came to day to set up a bed & oxygen and bring pain meds. but the nurse is only here like an hour and then leaves. have a private nurse starting tomorrow, but it doesn't feel like i'm doing enough to make her comfortable. even with the morphin she's restless and uncomfortable. how do i get her on a drip?

It can be surprising how long someone with cancer can hang on. Be prepared for this to go on longer than you think it will. I do not know your exact situation but if she is able to voice that she has pain then she may have several weeks left. |

|
Date: April 16th, 2018 11:44 PM Author: Maize Set yeah, that's what you want to do. the oncologist can push it or finesse the prognosis so she is accepted by hospice. but have you see the hospice place? is it definitely better than your home? they can bring hospital beds and all the medical equipment into your house immediately, converting her room into a hospital room, and then administering all the drugs at home. that's what they are set up to do. |

Date: April 16th, 2018 11:49 PM Author: Domesticated dopamine stage we've got the medical equipment and the hospital bed. we've go morphine for her. before she went downhill, she said she wanted to go to the hospice place rather than be at home. idk im just exhausted. private nurse is coming tmrw. maybe thatll help (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3951258&forum_id=2#35856618) |

Date: April 16th, 2018 11:53 PM Author: Maize Set yeah, assess the alternatives. some people are weirded out being ill at home and might want to be somewhere else, or maybe she wants more nursing attention at a medical facility, could be a lot of things. although, a lot of times, sick people say they want B and then as soon as you give it to them, they want to go back and have A. they are restless and confused.

Date: April 16th, 2018 11:47 PM Author: 180 whorehouse lettuce Reach out to the doctor to see what can be done as far as care, they can order more meds and maybe more frequent nursing care.
Also, there is something called a "hospice home" where people who aren't doing as well at home can choose to go get symptom treatment while on hospice, a lot of these are really good with good staff, so consider this an option if there is one in your area. |

the subtext of "increase morphine because she's in pain" is "i understand and wish to kill her."
because the "just enough painkiller to make him comfortable" will kill him/her. everyone on the medical side knows this, but i've seen other people not realize it. this is why youre getting pushback or whatever: the request for "really alleviating the pain" is a de facto request for euthanasia. so if you dont understand why the nurses are hesitant, that is why. we dont have euthanasia laws everywhere and a lot of nurses aren't comfortable making that decision alone. you have to insist because it really is asking for death. so, as others have said, talk to real doctors about how you *really* want pain relief and all that it entails; dont blame nurses and other functionaries for not making her "comfortable." if youre man enough to ask for death then be man enough to not put it on some random nurse whos not authorized to euthanize. |

Date: April 17th, 2018 8:56 PM Author: Laughsome dun senate party of the first part to be clear, a little bit of morphine won't kill you.
enough morphine to "stop the pain" for someone dying from cancer absolutely is enough to speed up the process. So that is 100% what were talking about and everyone needs to know that. |

Date: April 17th, 2018 11:19 PM Author: Laughsome dun senate party of the first part legit this was the deal before/without/during "euthanasia" and I've been around people who understood and people who didn't.
it's very sad when people don't understand and are frustrated and confused (either way--why they can't get enough to make someone pain-free or why "pain relief" seemed to precede sudden death)

Date: April 17th, 2018 9:36 PM Author: Domesticated dopamine stage i dont know why im writing this down, but fuck it need to chronicle this awfulness
prior to monday she had never taken any prescription pain meds. starting monday late afternoon, she took abt 5 doses of .25ml morphine spaced about an hour apart, which is the hospice 'starter' dose for patients expected to live 1 month +
after this thread, i called over a hospice nurse and badgered them to come over and urged for a dosage boost. they moved it up to .5ml. i was advocating for them to go straight to the 1ml "max" (im sure they go over this at hospice facilities for patients they consider to be actually 'near' death and are trying to kill). she died after 2 of those those .5ml doses, spaced an hour apart.
so, yes, my aim was absolutely to hasten her demise. unclear to me whether the amt she took accomplished that. but maybe others know more abt this |

Date: April 17th, 2018 10:52 PM Author: Self-absorbed Forum Reading Party Haven't exchanged with you before bro but your thread hit me hard. I had a very similar experience with my dad. Here is the deal, when I am about to die, and the choice is a few more hours of spaced-out unconscious pain vs. son giving me morphine to let me go quietly into the light -- I hope I have raised my son well enough to give me peace.
I have struggled with the decision I made for my dad for years. We all die. Some die horrible deaths. Some die gracefully. You gave your mother grace. Be proud. It wasn't you making the decision, it was her.
Edit: Sorry for your loss. Nothing is the same... at least for a long time. Find joy in the process of grief. You will understand when you see it in front of you and feel guilty for trying to grasp it. |
