My mother takes no medication, but is in the rehab facility to build her strength back up after a fall and pneumonia. Prior to the fall she could get around her home on her own, but now, can't get up or walk very far without help. When I go to see her at the rehab facility, she can barely keep her eyes open a lot of the time. In the past, when she was at home, if I woke her up when I showed up at her house unexpectedly, she bounced right up because she was glad to see me and would never let a nap interfere with a potential visit. She looked alert yesterday for the first time in a long time. Today she was back to "druggie-looking" eyes. It's so unlike her, it just occurred to me that maybe she's getting some medication that she isn't supposed to have. (Pretty much the whole time she's been in the facility --two weeks-- she has seemed very subdued and has had very little to say.) If this were a bad movie, I'd think there was a sinister plot at work.

Who so signed the discharge papers when she went to rehab? That paperwork would have indicated what meds she was to be given.
Has anyone had a care meeting with the rehab? To ask what meds she's on? What progress she's making?
