Mom is 87 and she fell and result was a dislocated shoulder and a cut above her right eye. ER Doc tired twice to place her shoulder and was unable to due to many mussel spasm. She was sent back to the Nursing Home with a sling and Hydrocodone prn for pain. For 3 nights she screamed out with pain, which I didn t know until Mom s roommate told me of this. I made some waves, then Mom was placed on IM MS and Geodon IM. Mom still hollered out and also talked out needing help from her brother and sisters. Moms meds have been change about every 3 days. Mom continues to holler out and when she is 1 -1 she is her normal self. Could she had a brain injury? Is she doing this as not to be alone? Or is her dementia changed in to full blown Alzheimer s? It is so hard to see Moms dementia change from a happy go lightly person a slit personality. Thanks
