Well the morphine seems to have done the trick. Mom is finally not having pain. and she is happy as well - a bit loopy - but happy. She's looking pretty good also. She must be losing weight because she isn't eating much but it's hard to tell because she hasn't wanted to get out of bed since the stroke. She goes for days without eating anything (she is drinking fluids, though) and then decides she is hungry and has a good lunch and dinner. Evidently the morphine supresses the appetite.
so think about this - morphine makes you happy, pain free, and no appetite. Sounds like a diet drug, doesn't it???
Last night she was watching some Italian movie on tv and singing along with the music. That was really fun to see. She was waving her fork in the air to the timing. she wasn't using the fork much to eat my meatballs, but she was doing a great job as a conductor.
