No luck this time. The pain came back Monday night, but was controllable with the pain meds. It got worse last night and I thought we would be making a hospital run, but we made it through the night.
Today by noon, the pain which started in her ribs and chest, moved to her low back and then finally to her right thigh (which always has been the worst). Despite pain pills and patch, she was miserable with the pain 7-8 on a scale of 10. So we decided to preempt and go to the hospital during the day instead of at night.
Good idea! Linda was so disappointed as she wanted to stay home, but by supper, the pain was back to a 10 despite the meds. She's in Room 3017 again, same as last week.
Hopefully this will be a 2-3 day stay and she will be home for some of the July 4th weekend. This roller coaster ride has been going on for almost 7 months now and we are all getting weary. While she is in the hospital getting cared for, the family can catch our breaths and catch up on sleep for the next go round.
Keep praying, it is working. She is much better now than she has been for 3 months. Thanks.
