BIG BIG hugs for you. Sending all the juju i can

[ QUOTE=PaPa;1130405]Hmm...this is under the section for "fluffy" and "humor" but what is on my mind is neither....

The Surgeon called last night with yet more bad news about Mom. Yes. She is coming home today. No. She has not been told the news. When we told my Father he cried (3rd time I ever saw him cry in my 50 year lifespan).

So what did the doctor say? Infection present in hip even without growing culture for 2 days. Another surgery probably imminent. As for her lumbar mri? Many things....spinal Stenosis is definitely narrowing onto her spinal cord and would cause pain. However it would be both legs and she is complaining of only pain in one. Secondly, a shift in vertebraes in her spine at L3/L4. Nerves are compressed. At same region little tumors in blood vessels that are always benign so no use messing with them. Biopsies usually not done on them because they bleed horribly and are not a threat. Finally, a thickening of her uterus to 11 mm. This problem is being deferred back to her PCP.

So as I type it out now the pain has hit me as it had Dad last night. I think of telling my brother last night and him saying, "well, Paul, she is 91 years old." At the time, I thought "you heartless @$$%*(# It is our Mother!!" However, I must admit I have questioned why they cannot just sever her spinal cord leaving her paralyzed from waist down to just be humane. Ugh!! Too much is on my mind....and not "fluffy" or "humor". *frowns* please send out to God or the Universe positivity for my Mom. She may be 91 but this world will definitely be worse without her and my Father. They are very rare specimens in today's world....[/QUOTE]
