We have no word from Stanford about the results of the X-ray taken on Friday. And, we are adjusting the dose of the painkiller within the bounds of the prescription. The doctor wrote it for one or two tablets every six hours as needed. So far, Mary has only done one tablet. Last night as she went to bed, she let me cut a tablet in half so she took 1.5 at bedtime. She slept pretty well but she did wake up from back pain in the wee hours of the morning.
Tom and Daniel are spending a lot of time together. They have been banished to the front yard when they have their buddy-buddy time with their red Marlboro's.
Daniel hijacked Mary's computer yesterday and posted an item on Mary's Facebook page, claiming Mary was so excited to see her FAVORITE son for Thanksgiving. I have a feeling Daniel will pay the price for that the next time he sees Mary's number 1 offspring, his brother Tim.
All in all, things are good. We just have to make sure Mary doesn't overextend herself trying to keep up with the visitors. She did that a bit last night by not having a late afternoon snack. By the time dinner was ready, she was not able to eat because her tummy was giving her great discomfort. Today, Reenie promises to make sure that doesn't happen again.
The next major medical step is the visit with the Oncologist on Monday at 1PM. We don't expect to hear anything before then.
