General Discomforts

Grandma experiences some pain which is spasmodic in nature. It comes on suddenly and it is intense, but it does not last long. The doctor prescribed Tylenol #3, which is a strong pain killer and it is constipating. My mom didn't fill the prescription as plain Tylenol seems to be effective for Grandma.

Grandma slept well the first night home, but had trouble falling asleep last night. Since she is not going anywhere, she can take rest periods during the day.

My mom has misinterpreted Grandma's hunger as good appetite. Grandma clarified that she actually does not feel like eating even though she feels hungry. She finds that everything has no taste. My mom will have to improve her cooking skills and to forget about healthy cooking for the time being.
