Can you blame them? If I had one, I would play with it non stop too.
Ha. Guess that's true.0 -
Sigh. I'm worried about my Dad. He has a bum heart and has for a long time. Three years ago he was suffering from debilitating face pain, so they put him on pain meds that could take down a horse. They almost killed him, and the side effects were drowsiness, disorientation, left side paralysis and at times... moments of dementia.
They operated on him and went through his skull to the nerve and surrounded the nerve with glycerin, effectively killing it. The procedure worked, but he contracted meningitis and almost died. He managed to recover and has been doing pretty well the past three years.
Well... it is now obvious that the nerve they numbed restored itself, and the pain is back... but worse than ever. He's back on the meds, stumbling around, half asleep and in constant pain.
He's terrified of another surgery, the meds are barely touching the pain, and I don't know how long he'll be able to manage this.
70 years old, with a pacemaker, weak heart, history of stroke... and now pain like this... the math doesn't look good. And I'm not ready for this.0 -

Thank you. It's a constant worry. He's on his third pacemaker AND has a built in defibrillator, but they said his pacemaker is pacing his heart 97% of the time now. I fear it could be any time and I just can't bear that thought. He's supposed to live forever!0 -
At work... watching Gotham on Netflix... waiting for 5 so I can check out for my 4 day weekend!0

I sympathize completely. I just went through a similar situation with my grandfather. He never really recovered from a surgery he had a year ago and was in the beginning stages of dementia.
I hope you find as much peace and comfort as you can in this situation and that the doctors can find a better way to manage your father's pain.3 -
