The latest on mom.......

Thought I'd pop over and give the latest news on mom (becknana).


I called early Saturday morning and mom sounded awful. She was in extreme pain and didn't get much sleep Friday night.  She almost sounded a bit depressed wondering if it was all worth it.


Needless to say I worried pretty much all Saturday. Sunday I called again and she sounded MUCH better. Such a relief for me.  The pain had let up a bit and had eaten a bit despite some nausea.  So, things are looking up a bit.


She thinks she will stay at Granny's until tomorrow at the earliest. So, hopefully she'll be back with an update of her own soon.

I must admit that the pain I had from foot surgery was way worse that I expected. Once the initial drugs wore off, it just throbbed day and night for almost a week. Then, it just turned to a dull ache in one day! My niece, the nurse, told me the swelling of the tissues presses on the nerves. The next surgery, I kept it iced and it was much easier going. It also didn't help that I couldn't maneuver on crutches, fell down in the bathroom on the 1st day home. After that, I just scooted along on my bottom when I needed to get somewhere. Tell your DM to "cool your jets" (a new saying from my soldier DGrS) - LOL.

Hi Amy--I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's pain, but am hoping she is feeling much better now. Some of those pain meds on an empty stomach can really make you feel sick too. Please let her know that I am sending gentle hugs and look forward to seeing her smiles back here soon. :-)
Many thanks for the update.
