Introducing ...
Mom's "new" best friend ...
"the button"
that's filled with drugs!
If she's pushed it once ... she's pushed it 1,000 times today!!!! Bless her heart ... she's in so much pain ...
But "the button" is making her very sick too ... SO ... it's been a LONG day for everyone!
They've been doing therapy today and she's walked twice ...
the good thing is ... she said it hurt more to walk the last two weeks than today!!!! WOW!!!! Most of the pain is from the machine and the therapist lifting each leg up ALL THE WAY and then back down ... the therapist worked on her twice today ... the machine runs two hours solid at a time ... this is very painful ...
yep ... this would be where her "best friend" would come in to play!!!
BUT ... sadly ... "the button" is leaving in the morning ... and it's pain pill only!!! They started to wean her from the button tonight and started pills by mouth ... she was NOT happy about her new friend leaving ... but ... hopefully some of the "sickness" will go away with the button!
It has definitely been a rough day ...
I'm VERY tired and I've got to be there by 6 or 7 in the morning to relieve my aunts who stayed with her tonight.
She's been so polite and tells everyone thank you no matter what they do for her ... but also asks everyone to pray for her because of the pain ... I'm positive she would appreciate any prayers for her sake right now ...
more updates later ...
Happy ZZZZZ (hopefully) ... tammy
