Dad had gall bladder out
| Thu, 05-03-2007 - 6:07pm |
My dad had his gall bladder out on Tuesday and was doing good until they gave him demoral. He had a bad reaction to it. Was very confused and out of his head a bit. Percasit (sp) didn't help with the pain. Thank god they did finally get something for the pain. Today was the first time he got up and walked which was great to see. He is still haveing alot of discomfort and they want to keep him another 2 or three days. They are worried about him not passing gas. He is on a clear liquid diet. He is 73 and keeps saying how old he feels now. He misses my mom so bad and had to got get her at 9 the other night. He just wanted her to sit with him. Well on my way back to the hospital to see if he ate or drank his broth.

Thanks for the update!
Not everyone tolerates the same medications, but it is good that your Dad was still in the hospital where others could be tried. Demoral and Percoset work for most, but that's why there are so many to choose from.
Passing gas should happen quickly, now that your Dad is able to be up and walking.
