The results of last nights bone scan aren't in yet, and when I arrived this morning mom was drinking some fluid for her CT Scan said she slept well and mentioned some pain. I told her her pain medication had been suspended and some time today we would be meeeting with the Pain Management group to look at how best to manage it. She left for the scan and I left for a while.
On my way back to WBH I received a call from moms nurse informing me she wanted to speak to me. The point of the conversation was that mom felt there was nothing wrong with her, she didn't have a doctor, no one has told her what's going on and she was being a nuisance. By the time I got back to her room, the pity party was over, her Dr was there patiently explaining everything again and assuring her with professionalism and kindness. I did pretty much the same thing.
Shortly after that, she again was transported for an x-ray of her right shoulder. Back in her room she was very alert, talkative and appeared to know what was going on. We talked a little about what's going on and why.
Her friend Sally came for a visit, Byron showed up as well & so did lunch. After Byron left Pricilla & Sheila came to visit and have been working on getting her to eat and drink. June Hall & Pat Martins showed up for a visit as well so I'm sure the room is humming with lots of solutions to all the worlds problems.
Right now, there are no more tests scheduled. It is hoped that with the bone/CT Scans we will finally get a diagnosis and prognosis and proceed well informed. Discharge planning came by to let us know they have spoken with St Anne Meades, mom didn't know about that and it ruined the surprise. Once we have solid information to proceed with, we will head in that direction, hopefully before the weekend.
That's all I know for now. Val is coming to town this afternoon so I may be getting out of here earlier than usual, thus the early post.
Have a Great Day Y'all
