Wednesday 6 Days after Surgery

Well I was apprehensive to bring mom home to the hotel today but she and the doctors were gung ho. Well we left the hospital at 11:00 and went to pick up her medicine. One of the prescriptions is a back ordered unavailable medicine at any Pharmacy!! The challenges begin. I called Dr office and had to leave message...never called me back but I did call the Patient Advocate Nurse and drove back to hospital to drop off prescription at the hospital out patient Pharmacy...would take several hours to pick up. Mom and I got to hotel ate a bit and then went to sleep for a few hours. When I woke mom up at 4:00 she couldn't stop jerking her hands and then it move to her legs. When she was standing up at the sink her leg jerked out and I had to catch her. Jerking seem to get worse and I called the Dr on call...I was told to load up and head to the ER...got to ER at 5:30 and we got seen around 6:30 but saw Dr at 8:00...they believe that she might be having a drug reaction to Lyrica and that would take 72 hours to flush through her system. They let us go about 10:00 and then we had to find a 24 hour Pharmacy for more medication. We are back at hotel now and we have had something to eat...mom is in a lot of pain and we both have had a small emotional breakdown!! Mom said a prayer for us and we are hoping to get through the night...it is now 1:30 AM on Thursday one week since surgery...I can't say that it has been easy on mom or me but we love each other and some how we will make it through this and laugh again.
