Thank you for your concern. I don't know if they could give him any more pain medications that they already are. If you want my honest answer, I think he plays up the pain just so he can stay on his narcotic meds. He was rushed by ambulance last sunday night due to being in respiratory distress and was unresponsive. On Wednesday he signed an AMA form signing himself out. I went to get him and the first thing he wanted was his oxycodone. They were only giving him 20 mg a day. He is used to 100mg. But the funny thing was when the drs asked him if he was in any pain, he told them no. He takes xtampa which is a form of morphine 20 mg and the oxycodone is 20 mg 4 times a day. I suggested hospice and he said he would not go anywhere except home. Well, I will honor his wishes until the time comes that I can't handle it anymore by myself.
