X-rays were taken yesterday afternoon and the results weren't available until today. When the Dr came to discuss the results, transport was present to take mom to the vascular lab to check the status of her blood clots. The Dr took off with her chart, her nurse was missing and transport was getting impatient. Found the nurse, found the Dr & then found the chart. It was an interesting time in the hallway.
The good news is there are no broken bones or fractures or anything that would indicate what is causing so much pain. There is signs of arthritis as well as bone loss. In consult with ortho the Dr requested an MRI of her back for this afternoon, I hope. We also agreed mom needs to get out of bed and stand/walk/whatever. Her nurse checked with the Dr about giving mom some nutritional supplements as well. Ensure or something like that.
While she was off the floor, I made a quick trip to CVS for supplies. When I returned she was back in her room and I discussed what I discussed with the Dr earlier, explaining that an MRI of her back was being scheduled and she was going to have to get out of bed.
Since I did not get what she wanted from CVS, I dashed off again, giving up a primo parking spot, and returned to see cousin Pat visiting with mom. Seemed like a good time to put this out for everyone and will post more when more is revealed.
