A Day’s End

Although “they” say generic drugs are the same as the brand name, I think we’ve all experienced the small differences. In Eileen’s case, the small difference is a good thing. This afternoon Eileen started on the generic Percocet they gave her; it hasn’t made her nauseated thus far. Therefore, the nausea is minimal and the narcotic is keeping her pelvic pain at a “1” on the pain scale. She has been napping well and we took a two hour nap this afternoon. It’s hard for Eileen to just lie around all day but she is staying pretty quiet. She goes back to the doctor in two weeks.
