A couple of rough days

Mary's pain shot through the roof the last couple of days. We did contact Stanford and they did adjust her pain meds. Right now, she is not feeling any pain and that is good. She is having digestive problems because not all meals stay with her, unfortunately.

Mary was a real trouper because she had to be in the MRI for two runs today. One for the thoracic vertebrae and one for the lumbar. That means over an hour in the banging of the MRI machine! We expect to hear from Stanford on Monday, most likely. We are so hopeful that this MRI will point to the source of the pain so they can do something about it.

Because Mary was having such difficulty, I took her to Stanford for the MRI. A pleasant surprise was MaryR dropping in while Mary was in the machine. As I noted before, she was having a procedure at Stanford about the same time as Mary. She told me she drove by the Imaging Center and saw my car at the curb (California Plate "CAT4PAT" on a Jaguar) so she dropped in. We had a nice chat before Mary came out from her session.

Let's hope she has a better weekend with these stronger pain killers.
