Some progress has been made regarding Mom's pain. The attending doctor talked with Colleen last night, and said that he upped the dosages plus made assurances she would be given pain meds during the night, even if it meant waking her up. The pain meds do make her a little loopy, and she's funnier than usual. We had quite the conversation with her roommate Jessie about Tiger Woods' indiscretions.
She had a shower and got her hair washed (first time in over a month!) this morning. However, being at more than a 30 degree angle is still pretty painful for her. As I write she's waiting to get her hair done, but I'm not real sure she'll be able to sit long enough for that.
I plan to speak with her social worker and discuss options, such as referral to a pain clinic. It would be so nice if she could sit at a 45 degree angle without being in such agony.
