I've already had 2 conversations with my hopped up on morphine Dad this morning. He scared the living daylights out of me when the phone rang at 6:00 PST. He is beyond agitated and is hallucinating. If he doesn't settle down, I may have to go out tomorrow cause he's not liking my siblings right now.
He doesn't handle pain meds well. Just like there are happy drunks and mean drunks...he becomes mean and irrational when he's on anything. Thank goodness he doesn't actually drink in real life. This kind of behavior only comes out when he's in the hospital.
He is accusing my brother of hooking up a fax machine to his main line (but was calling his own cell phone from the looks of it), thinks they left yesterday without talking to any doctors so they must not care, and he wants his false teeth and his cell phone NOW. He also thinks he was only in surgery for an hour and because he feels no pain he doesn't think he needs the morphine any more.
Going to be a fun day.
