Jul. 31st, 2006 01:06 amThree weeks ago, Lindsay was prescribed Metcam to see if it helped her night-time restlessness. Don't think the Vet was hopeful - believing it to be indicative of her suffering from dementia. Lindsay has run out of Metcam and this her second night without it her restlessness is evident and distressing for her and for us, she has spent the last hour shuffling away, doesn't want to lie down, or stand up, or sit.
Has now finally settled, exhausted.
hippy will pickup a prescription tomorrow.
Reminds me of a few years ago - looking after a rather astute 96 year old - whose 26 year old GP was worrying aloud about the ladies increasing reliance on diazepam (valium) to ease her back pain, for its risk of addiction. "I don't think I,ll end up in Junky Rehab doctor" she smiled, obviously tickled at the very thought.
