drugs do help temporarily. When my husband realized he had to be isolated for a month in a hospital room, this was not an unknown beforehand it just became more apparent after admission, I mentioned it to the doctor. Her reply was that they had a variety of drugs to help him through this period and that he should use whatever he needed to get past this difficult time. So IV Ativan each night helped. If you read the literature there are warnings about addiction, but in the big picture one has to move past a difficult period and worry about any addictions later. Use what is needed now to move forward ... in retrospect I think it was very good advice.
Be well and let someone else shoulder a little bit of the anger ... even just for a few hours.
I think I would be a terrible patient, much worse so than my husband. You just need some small breaks to take a breath ... we all do.
The drugs do help in getting past the rough patches.
