Better Back
My mom had a tremendously painful back this past week. We thought it was from over-stretching and/or exercising. But, it got so bad she could barely move or sleep. So I took her to the doctor yesterday. He ordered some x-rays to make sure there was nothing else going on and gave her a prescription […]
Our Lady Heals Again
I had been getting tired of wearing a bandage on my thumb and not being able to use it since I cut it so bad a few weeks ago. But, the doctor said it would take a long time to heal. I didn’t get a definition for exactly what “a long time” meant, so I […]
One Wrong Move
I got up yesterday morning with a mission of accomplishing all the errands that needed to be done. I talked with several doctor offices and postponed appointments, or in 1 case actually got the necessary information from the doctor without having to go to their facility. I dropped off tax information, dropped off hearing aids […]
Hugging Again
My daughter in law had surgery last week, but has been recovering well. The operation was in her abdomen so she has had to be very careful not to do anything to irritate the incision. We chatted tonight and she said she was bored, but feeling pretty good. She said the best part was that […]

Best Therapist Ever
During the past 3 years, my mom has been to physical therapy for various reasons. Whenever she has hurt something or is recovering from an illness, we go back to the same therapist. She truly is amazing. We say she has magic hands as she knows exactly how to manipulate the area that gives my […]
God Broke My Hip
My mother had physical therapy today. It was super hot out again, so I dropped her at the door and parked out under a tree that would provide at least a little shade. After her appointment, I went to retrieve the car while she sat on a bench just inside the door next to another […]
Quick Thinker
My brother-in-law unfortunately got in a car accident the other day. Luckily, he wasn’t badly injured, but the young woman who rear ended him left the scene in the ambulance. He came over yesterday and told us the story. He was driving home from work on the highway in stop and go traffic through a […]
Intervening Couple
The Parkinson’s Caregiver Support Group is made up of wonderful people who do their best to take care of their loved ones. Most everyone can relate to the stories that are told around the table. Today a woman talked about when she and her husband went out for their usual walk. She was not quite […]
Comfortable Seat
The day we returned from the cabin, my mom’s back, hip, and leg started hurting. She has been in a great deal of pain, so we went to see her doctor today. He feels it is a pinched nerve and took some x-rays to check further. Tonight after dinner, she was able to make her […]
