By 6pm the leg cramps had started. The nurses gave him the dilaudum and he was fine for the next hour. Then they started up again. They increased the dilaudum in hopes it would last longer but it never even fully took effect. Although it was not continuous, he kept getting the muscle spasms every few minutes. At 8pm they gave him another dose of the pain killer but it seemed to have no effect whatsoever this time so at 8:30pm they gave him his sleeping meds. By 9pm he was settled and calm although he had not actually dropped off to sleep. But I came home to get some R&R.
Two thumbs down
