I just read what I wrote last time   It was supposed to say it may be the 25th but it's not Christmas.  Oh well time goes by with a lot of pain.  It seemed as though the oxycodone was not working for her.  On Friday I called Hospice  to tell them something had to be done .  Their answer was to increase the fentalye patch to 100mg and to start giving her 2 oxycodone every hour.  Still no results.  Called again Monday and they suggested that we bring Jody into their hospice House , which is almost like a hospital.  They started her on morphine and steroids and Tuesday morning she woke up and said she did not have any pain. 

We came home late Wednesday evening.  But the bad news is she is not her self.  Sees things that is not there.  Mixed up .  I hope it is the morphine that is causing it.  Also her blood sugar was high today.  Must do a better job if checking it.  Don''t know if this could contribute to it or not. 

Starting Monday we will have a home health aid coming in to help her.  Three days a week..

Don't know what else to say other than things could be better.
