I'm curious about her pain managment regimen. What did she take? How long did she take them and how long has she been off them.
The fluctuating blood pressure could easily be opiate withdrawal, it also sometimes precipitates depression especially in someone her age.
Also, I would watch her closely for awhile. Watch her for wincing and grimacing with certain movements. Sometimes people can fool you about pain, they can claim they are fine, when, in fact, they hurt.
Thank you for sharing your story - absolutely nothing to apologize for here.
