My mom is in extended care for a couple weeks, post-tumble, getting therapy, etc. They're giving her her meds, too, as the doctor prescribed. My mom had vicodin, or whatever that is now, and a strong dose of xanax. I suspect one reason she might have fallen is due to the xanax, where she takes three at night and then stumbles around kind of out of it. All she keeps doing is demanding I bring her the pills, in particular the Norco/Vicodin, and the xanax. Says she's miserable, can't sleep, etc., though she gets a lot of physical therapy. I don't want to smuggle her pills but how do people handle this hostile and demanding behavior. On top of that, she said if I didn't bring her xanax, then to bring her some nyquil!
Does your Mom live alone normally?
