I usually feel terrible that my only living relatives are my daughter and grandchildren. If I had relatives like yours, I don't think I'd feel so bad!

My personal pain syndrome usually requires me to take 1-2 (rarely 3) 7.5/750 Hydro a day (sometimes none on those gloriously rare pain-free days; sometimes around the clock for the horrid ones). I'm sure some people require less and some people require more. I would NEVER presume to tell someone else that their dosage is too much. (Ha ha... you might want to tell her what MY hydro dosage is and tell her that SHE is taking too much, then see how SHE likes to be judged!!!) Maybe you could offer to trade SKIN with her so she could live inside YOURS for an hour.

I realize the neither of my suggestions are really of any help. I just read your post and felt my blood starting to boil and just wanted to respond. You seem to be handling the situation with more "grace" and definitely CLASS than I would be able to!!!
