    Well, our GP came about 7.45. He checked Alan over and said to always take the full 8 paracetamol each day, as a base. He is currently taking 6, but doc said paracetamol doesn't have any side effects so don't need to worry about them. Then take up to the maximum of 8 codeine phosphate each day. Don't be afraid to use the 8 if needed. Alan is currently on 4, so got to double them. Doc said there is no need to be in pain, it can be controlled, so take what is needed and if it makes him sleepy, so be it. Obviously, he said, it will get worse and then morphine will have to be used, but will see how this goes first. He is coming back to see Alan in a couple of weeks to see how it is going

    So Alan now takes 3 despression tablets, 8 paracetamol, 8 codeine phosphate, 2 anti-acid tablets, 6 anti-diarrhoea tablets, and 2 times daily Resouces Fibra-gel, plus takes 2 Acai Berry capsules we buy ourselves. We use one of those daily pill boxes but have to put morning tablets in two of the sections, then afternoon and evening in the others as the morning meds too much for one box. However, now he has to take meds 4 times a day, I am going to have to think of something else :eek:

    We had a chat after the doc left and Alan seemed ok but when I went in an hour or so later to tell him I was making some supper, he was very slow in getting up, so I went in again and he was in tears so we had another chat. He said he was getting upset about it and didn't want to be like that, but I hugged him and told him that it is ok to get upset, he's bound to. We just have to get the pain control sorted and take each day as it comes. If he doesn't get out, then he doesn't get out. The main thing is to try to be pain free

    Poor thing :(:( He decided he didn't want any food yet, so I let him have another sleep. Going to check on him now :(
