If she's slowly dying anyway, then I don't see the point of taking away her pain medicine.  She may as well die more comfortably instead of in pain.

I'm sorry you and your family are going through this.

I was wondering what happened to you.

How is your mum?

Her kidneys are working again, but she's still circling the drain. This is going to be tough on my dad because she's going slow.

She's also in a lot of pain now because they took her off of MScontin. She was on it for several years and became addicted, so now she's going through morphine withdrawals in addition to slowly dying.

WTF take he off morphine she's dieing what's the point if she's addicted not like she'll be robbing liquor stores to get her fix now is the time to give her what she wants

Sorry to hear Scrap,

Seems cruel what they are doing to your mum right now. Must make things a lot harder for all of you too.

I thought holding back the morphine was a bit silly too.

My Nanna was very sick in hospital and was not expected to live, was in a coma for about 2 weeks with blood poisoning and a stroke. Round the clock vigils.

She unexpectedly sat up in bed and asked for beer, and then oysters. The nurses said, do what you want, she may as well die happy. We gave her beer and oysters on demand of course.

She recovered!

Can you also believe, the stroke affected the mood part of her brain/pain receptors, so she was permanently in a good mood and relieved of all osteo and arthritic pain for her remaining 4 years of life.

The latter I can believe quite easy. I had a relative who became a lot happier person after getting demented. The bad patches of her life vanished first from her memory.

It's nice to have a happy ending. My nanna didn't go demented though or have alzheimers, just the mood/pain part of her brain was affected.
