It's awesome shes not in pain and sleeping a lot but she is a zombie now!!! I dont think its from the fentanyl bc shes on such a low dose at the moment and it doesnt really start working till late day 2/day 3. It has to be the morphine. Will she adjust to this or can I expect her always be sleeping now?        
my mom, age 59.
