Pain management. What would that consist of?
Shots that are supposed to last for a month. But from what I've heard about them, they never last that long.

I hope they are able to find something that will give her relief.
I think what's going to happen is that she'll try the shots and find out that they don't work as advertised, and hopefully opt for another surgery. She put off the surgery she just had a few months ago for about 20 years, and it worked wonders. She was hobbling and barely able to walk, and after, she was doing very well. She's talking about not wanting to be here if it's going to be like this, so I'm trying to keep her from giving up.
If you pray, please pray for her.
I will. I think you mentioned that your mom is about 80? Still young enough to go ahead with surgery. Make sure she knows that if she puts it off she might no longer have the option. Of course she has to know that already.
I think she'll see what the shots do.I just told her yesterday that 80 was still young. She turned 80 in October. But she didn't want to think about surgery yesterday.I think she'll see what the shots do.
With luck they will work for her! Okay - I gotta go to bed. I'm worn out again. I'm looking forward to a day of complete rest... soon! Good night and sweet dreams to you!






Hi, guys.....I meant to get back here much earlier, but granddaughter insisted we look at her Christmas presents, then we had to play Candyland, then dinner, then we had to watch the Grumpy Cat Movie......which was terrible for anyone over the age of 8. Then put her to bed at 9, and after a story, some milk, back up to potty, she finally went to sleep at 9:30. Then, after we were sure she was asleep, we had to hide the presents. And now I am TIRED!
Tomorrow morning making crock pot ham, potato soup and fruit salad for our Christmas lunch with her and her parents. Then Monday, picking up one of my sister's out of state friends who is visiting family and going to go see her. Tuesday....shopping/lunch about 70 miles away with my work out buddies. Wednesday get ready for our New Year's Eve party that we have for our small group of close friends. Thursday....it is our 26th wedding anniversary. A very busy week.
I am too tired to back read....will try to get to it tomorrow, but maybe not until tomorrow night.
Good night, Beachers.....after the holidays, I should have time to be around here again.

Have fun doing presents tomorrow.


Eggs?
Good morning Tink
Hope you are well!

I'm not sure why she can't get up and out her bedroom door. One problem is that her walker won't fit through her bedroom to her bed. I dunno…. but hubs is frustrated. I think we are at the point of having to get somebody to stay with her, at least during the nights.
I never, ever thought I would be one to do that, but I can't keep living this way. It breaks my heart.

Well crap Tink! I'm sorry to hear all of thatMorning Dale
Things are OK here. Could be better, could be worse. Hubs is at his mother's, helping her get out of bed. He had to do that yesterday too. Her back is in such bad shape, she is afraid she will fall if she gets out of bed herself. She can, however, get up during the night to a bedside commodeI'm not sure why she can't get up and out her bedroom door. One problem is that her walker won't fit through her bedroom to her bed.

I spent all day cleaning yesterday, mostly the back bedrooms where the cats stay. And had to wash the bedclothes, yet again. Even though we cover the bed with a tarp, I guess one of them sprays/pisses on the bed when DH is asleep and I'm not in the bed. Also had to clean up multiple areas along the baseboards. The culprit has already peed in two places since yesterday. Unfortunately, I am beyond my breaking point. I am going to set up a video camera, if possible, to catch whoever it is in the act. Then I'm afraid I am going to have to euthanize themI never, ever thought I would be one to do that, but I can't keep living this way. It breaks my heart.
Other than that, peachy-keen around here
Oh, and I gotta work tonight, Mon, and Tue![]()
