Plain ole update

I took Mom to see Dr. E on Tuesday because Kim had an important meeting to attend. I haven't been to one of her appts in a while. The doc was pleased with her progress.  She's been doing water therapy for a couple of weeks now, maybe three at the most.  It's going really well and it's definitely not as hard on her body as regular therapy.  She forces herself to go even when she doesn't feel like it.


Mom was having some new symptoms and Dr. E explained that they were all therapy related, which was GREAT! At least I thought it was great.  He explained that most of what she was feeling was from actually using her muscles and some of it was side effects from the medicine she's taking.  Her muscles won't always react the way a normal person's would after going to the gym, being sore, etc... Her muscles will react with pain.  Vicious cycle!

Mom's been having trouble with her right arm and she will be having an MRI on her shoulder soon to make sure there isn't something else wrong with it. That's one thing she hasn't had tested yet! 

Please keep the prayers coming! You can pray for her therapy to keep going well. Pray for the 'break through' pain she feels from the therapy to be controlled by the meds. She's been driving too, so pray for her to make it safely to and from her destinations without any problems.  Right now, she has a sinus infections, so please pray for her to feel better from that ASAP. This is the first time since all this started that she's gotten this type of sickness. That's amazing because Lucy and I have been over there several times when we have been sick.

Mom gets a bit lonely at times, so feel free to call her for a chat.

Oh, I almost forgot! She's been cooking too! Well, baking really. She did make Kim some Lamb Soup the other day. She also has made a few desserts in the last couple of weeks.
