I'm trying to figure out how to help the boy child sleep with his arm all jacked up right now...he can't get comfortable and isn't sleeping well. *sigh*

How old is he ?
Did they prescribe something at night?
Or, PT?
He's 14.
Yeah, he has some pain meds, but we are trying to only use those for pain (and it's not pain keeping him up...it's being uncomfortable) because in my job I see so much about people who are now doing heroin because they jacked up their knee and relied on the pain meds...I have a very addictive personality and I suspect that the boy takes after me in that regard. And yes, he's in PT and said that his hand feels good...he just can't get comfortable at night. (Hoping for an idea from his therapist today)

I was going to give you advice, but Farwan is the best person to speak to on this, she's a medical professional.
I think you’re right to be diligent. As an RN and a daughter of someone who got addicted to prescribed opiates, it is a horrible problem.
What if you gave him half a dose at night. Kept the pills. And when he’s more comfortable, dispose of them.
Best bet is talk to your doctor or therapist like you said, not a nurse on a porn site.
I hope he feels better. I’m sorry you’re upset.
I know...sometimes a nurse on a porn site is smarter than the doctor for sure.
I think we are going to give some Tylenol PM or Benadryl tonight to see if that helps for a while.
He said today, "Mom, my hand feels a lot better...I'm just so tired!" He'll be fine...just doing the mom worry thing.
Thank you, but really, her doc is.
I could be anyone!!!
(I’m not, but still!)
Just saw a police car cruise slowly down my street and my first thought was, “Oh no! What did I do?” Thank you Catholic guilt. C![]()
Babies are so mad when they're born that they don't talk to us for 2 years.
False. Mine said her first word at 3.5 months, clear as day; she was talking in 2-4 word sentences by 8 months and hasn’t shut up since. We used to get the weirdest looks in stores and restaurants because here’s this baby but she’s talking and you can understand her.
Nice!![]()
