The antibiotics are tearing up his stomach WORSE! Poor guy is constantly nauseous and in pain.

I have a good idea what you both are going through and my heart goes out to you. Ken will appreciate the care and love that you give him and there must be times when he thinks it's all he has. Depression is common, I understand, but usually passes after a day or two. The dark thoughts are common too and you seem to understand why they come. All you can do at those times is be there.

There's medication to stop the nausea and, if it's needed, to pep up the appetite that nausea often suppresses. Morphine is the best pain killer but, sometimes, even that is not enough.

Morphine also inhibits breathing, so that is not an option for him. He is on Compazine several times a day for the nausea. Yesterday he seemed much better than the rest of the last week or so.

that's the problem with lots of pain meds id it also effects the lungs/heart and reduces their functioning abilities, hence why so many people who OD on those drugs die. I knew someone whom dies of an overdose of pain killers. Muscle relaxers can have a similar effect....

I have endometriosis and fibroid tumors, so I am very much aware of what it's like to constantly be given pain meds in order to function. It's not fun. :/ I'm so sorry that you lost a friend to an OD...I can't even wrap my mind around how awful that must have been. For some reason I have a stupid high tolerance for the stuff, and it doesn't really affect me. I dont' get loopy or groggy, all I get is a mild ringing in the ears and the pain goes away.

Throughout my life, I've dealt with everything from emphysema to cancer in my family, and it never gets any easier to remember no matter how much time passes. It sucks feeling so hopeless seeing all of you go through that same pain. :/

I'm sorry Ken's feeling so crappy. Gees you finally get some good news in this roller coaster ride and then his stomach craps out. Poor guy. I hope he feels better soon ! On the otherhand, I'm so happy to hear that his cancer didn't spread! Your granddaughter is absolutely adorable and so are the fuzzy butts. Here's to the rest of your lives being as bright and beautiful as that baby girl !
