So this is what I discovered on Tuesday.
The Doctor, on Monday, had switched Aunt Dots pain aid and also her antibiodic from what the ER doc on Thursday had recommended. To a pain med that is easier for older people to handle and an antibiotic that is more specific to her cellulitius. What they had her on made her climb the walls and the anti was just very general.
Darvasat is a narcotic. So they can not fax it to the home. It has to be a hard copy. But no one shares this with me on Monday so I think everything is fine. I find out this information on Tuesday morning so I am in the process of getting back my car so that I can go pick up the prescription and have it filled and get it to Grace. I call Grace to let them know and they say she is doing fine and that they are still giving her the original antibiotic so she is not going without.
Later I call and find out that the doc did indeed fax over the prescriptions but that Grace has to have the hard copy when the meds are delivered. Since we spent all afternoon in the ER I figure Grace can handle it with the pharmacy!
I still have not been to the doc office! Aunt has an apt this morning so I am just going to wait. Wouldn't it be great to get Hospice, Grace staff and the doctors and nurses all together so that we were all on the same page!
