I am in a quandary and who to turn to but the trusty folks of lace chat. My FIL had a stroke in May that affected his left side so that he is not able to walk or talk. The nursing home that he is in has been administering enough drugs to keep him in a stupor all day long. We are wondering if the drugs are really necessary or if it's just easier to deal with the "inmates" if they are kept docile and in bed. If there's someone with a medical or pharmaceutical background who wouldn't mind explaining some things in layman's terms, I'd appreciate it. We are too far from the action to be kept informed, but it seems as if something's not quite right and I'd like to either put my mind at ease, or know what kinds of questions I ought to ask to see that he is cared for properly. So if some kind sould would e-mail me, I'd appreciate it. Sharon Briggs [EMAIL PROTECTED]
