Mom woke up this morning at 3:30 am she needed the bathroom. I helped her to the restroom and I waited till she was finished to help her back to the bed.She fell back to sleep. 6:27 am I heard mom ask JR to get her water. He did then left the room (I was up but I wasn't up up). She drank some water and at 6:30m she threw up mainly liquid. I heard her doing this from the bed next to her. She called me to empty the PINK container she uses. I did. Then she asked me to give her some Atenelol(blood pressure Med) because he feels her blood pressure was high because of her shooting pain in her leg. I did. Then I told her I won't give her that same medicine @ 7:30 AM because she took it already, she told me Jr gave her the Pink pill (Morphine), I called him and he said he only gave her water. Mom was a bit argumentative because she swore she took her Pink pill already. I told her I am the only one who gives her her Meds. She asked to see the medicine case I showed it to her. I explained the yellow part is for the morning and the dark blue side is for the night. I showed her the days she already took her Meds and she told me to take the morphine out because "she took it". I told her "It seems like you are taking lots of pills because you are sleeping a lot, and when you wake up you have to take medicine." She stared at me with that mean face of hers (you guys know what that looks like when she doesn't get her way...lol) I told her "we are just giving you your meds on schedule. And at first it's going to seem like a lot because she's not used to taking medicine routinely."I reassured her we are not giving her more than what the Dr. Subscribed. She accepted that and I Took he blood pressure it was 140 /88 (not bad). I put her back to sleep @ 6:45am

I think I am going to start video taping every time I go inside her room to give her her meds so she won't feel like I'm giving her too many pills.
