My mom's back has been hurting for a week now. She's been to the chiropractor twice. I kept telling her to go to her family doctor but she doesn't listen (payback I think). Yesterday her oncologist told her the same thing.
Today she had to go to the ER because the pain was so bad. She has a compression fracture and it is due to the chemo. I was so angry. Angry that she has beat cancer but the chemo is wrecking havoc on her. I wasn't quite sure how to handle that kind of anger.
Then I had to go to the hospital pharmacy to get her prescriptions and I see a young man who had both legs amputated below the knee and felt like a total asshole for being angry. It could be a whole lot worse.
Now I just feel blah.
Thankfully my mom is handling this better than me.
