A Pinch of this, a Dash of That

8/9/2017

 
8:30 PM Wednesday update, a partial retraction: I checked my notes... I was given bad information, fake news. I was told that "IV pain meds were required on-time all night (which is every few hours) and they're not cutting it". Incorrect, they must have been thinking of someone else. I learned since the post below that she needed them only a few times over 24 hours. Phew! That said even if only required a few times, Madison said she'd rather stay in the hospital another day and know for sure she doesn't need any via IV than risk coming home and then learning what she has might not be enough. The physician tweaked the pill-form meds a bit, and we'll see how she does tomorrow Thursday. If the stars align and she's comfortable with the newly adjusted pain regime, Madi may be released Friday.  

To the doctors point, work up with a pain patch and oral meds, with the IV med as a contingency. She needs assurances that once discharged, she has the proper level of pain control and will have no need (and will have no access) to IV meds.
