Today is D-Day or should I say C-Day, as we go to see Dr. Waxman today  at 3:45 p.m. for the cast removal.  Hooray!  I just feel that Mom will do so much better once she gets that heavy thing off her arm.  She is in her bed chattering like she has been most of the night.  I think she is "somewhat sleeping" but still talking at the same time.  Eyes are shut but she is still talking.

 

Simply amazing what a little sleep will do for you.  Since I didn't sleep Monday night and felt pretty worse for the wear because my left shoulder was really hurting and my old arthritic knees were giving me trouble, I broke over and took 2 Aleve.  My endocrinologist does not want me taking these because he is afraid my stomach will start bleeding but told me that once in a while when the pain is so bad I could get by with taking a couple and then them alone for a while.  Well, last night was Aleve night and Mom was still carrying on at about midnight so I took them and really did get a few hours sleep.  Wow, I feel like a new woman!!!

 

The RN was here yesterday and said that Mom now has her days and nights mixed up which is part of the disease.  She said I should try to keep her awake.  Yeah, right!  It does not work.  No matter what I tried she was determined to sleep, so finally around noon, I just gave in and took a nap with her (about an hour).

 

Polly Lasher came while the nurse was here.  She is so amazing, 93 years old and is very spry and always has me laughing.  Karen, the RN was well entertained by her. 

 

Today, Jeff from PT will be here this morning and also Shayla the aide prior to noon.  Talked with Ken the driver from Mt. State and he will be here around 3pm to pick up Mom and Jack and I are both allowed to ride with her.  Wish us well!

 

Great news:  My nameless friend who has been in the hospital having multiple tests received news that her temporal biopsies came back negative.  Praise God!  Her temperataure is now back to normal and the team of doctors still have no idea what caused this but is sending her home.  Maybe it was something viral (that's Dr.Coonley's opinion  ).  I am so thankful for the negative biopsies.  We serve a great God, don't we?  Please add Bill Mason (Rosemary Toryak's brother in law) to your prayers, as he was just sent home from the hospital (heart) because they can do no more, but we know our Lord can.

 

Everyone have a wonderful day!  vada
