Ouch

Today, they changed the access on Mom's port as well as giving her PT.

We woke up about 7:30 and I took a run to Biscuitville for breakfast. We were moving around and up. I called the drug store this morning to ask about the prescription for the Ethyl Chloride spray for Mom. No dice. Called Dr and tried to figure out what I missed here yesterday. George and Kelly are both on vacation. Tried to get another Dr to write prescription, but protocol is only for this to be written for Hospice patients. (Honestly not sure what else you can do with this but obviously this is in demand.) Will deal with on Monday when we have an appointment. I know there are rules but they didn't have to see Mom in tears and hold her hands when Lois redid the access. I know that everything isn't easy but this could have been easier.

Plus Mom confessed to having some pain last night and this morning when Lois was here. We covered this w/her breakthru med but this made her pretty sleepy the remainder of the day. Richard came in for PT but Mom was pretty well zonked. She did a couple of the exercises but didn't do the full round. Richard wrote up a report to take back to George. If Mom does go in the hospital for Chemo, I don't want us to lose ground on the strength she has gained this week.

Mom had a milkshake for dinner and went back to sleep. She is having the druggy sleep, not the normal sleep she has had this week. Will see what Saturday brings.

I am starting to get anxious about the Monday visit. I am not sure what this will bring. Not sure when Mom will start Chemo again and where we will end up this week. (Greensboro or Fuquay). As soon as I know, will post something here to let you know.

Wendy has the Flu so she is banned from seeing Mom this weekend. She sounds like trash on the phone.
