Dear Jill
Please calm down... you are going to give yourself a coronary, then you won`t be of any help to anyone! Ok Breathe.....
Pain meds cause confusion, lethargy and tiredness unfortunately..but thats better than leaving him in excrutiating pain, right?
If you are afraid of him becoming depressed that can be resolved with Zoloft..... he is also afraid and probably trying not to show you his fear.

This is not the end of your dad`s life Jill..if the Doc`s thought that they could not help him any more they would not reccomend further treatment but send him to hospice.

We all went through these feelings and terrors and made it ...you will too.
Your Dad is going to need your help for a little while, you can do it. We who have been through all this will help walk you through .
