After celebrating and enjoying a traditional Thanksgiving meal from the comfort (?) of her bed last week, Mom and Dad have reached the end of the line on patience with Mom's back issues. For the past 2 months Mom has pretty much been confined to bed because her back has been very difficult to work with. It could be pain from just laying in bed, it could be due to long-term steroid use, it could be a new compression fracture, we're not sure. Speech and right hand motor control have also been more troublesome lately and we are unsure why.
But we are sure of one thing; we are tired of waiting so back in the hospital we are today, with a bevy of tests being run, currently in a 3-hour MRI session of brain and spine.
Thankful today for anti-anxiety medication for Mom, Subway sandwich shops for Mom and Dad, kind nurses, and dad's cell phone charger. And especially thankful for prayers from family and friends.
I'll post more when we know what's up.
