last friday i heard from mom's doctor. the mass they reviewed from her 2nd MRI still is undetermined. he went on to as to say he didn't feel it was a tumor or cancer... that it might be an old trauma or perhaps multiple sclerosis. with that said, yet one more MRI-- one specifically for the brain, has been ordered for this friday.
doing my best to phrase things properly with mom, it still hit her pretty hard. as expected, the first reaction were words similiar to wanting to be off this planet. those words were pretty prevelent before last august-- we heard them almost everyday. since her surgery and all the good therapy that went along with it, those words haven't been heard-- at all, until now. it's very understandable and i predicted this so knew what was coming.... divertion was met and within an hour, mom was herself again.
brother got mom set up with a new (old, but new for her!) laptop so we both now have full access to our stuff during the day when the urge strikes. having saved one last positive for when the timing of it was right, i showed her where the internet radio was and she's basking gloriously in her piano scapes.
dad is tired again today. he was up most of the day yesterday so this could be just a day of recovery from that. he still wants to go to rotary, so i'm letting him rest until the last possible moment.
i took him to the VA for his labs last friday-- we go in for his 6 month check up this friday-- unless i can reschedule-- which i'm trying to do as last time i checked it was impossible for me to be two places at one time. with the holiday upon us, help will be more readily available but brother would like me to schedule dad's exam for next week when he's here if possible. hey- no problemo... i'm on it!
landscaping equipment is arriving at my house so banjo is hanging here with us today. i swear animals are too smart for their own good-- how they tend to those in need is simply a gift from heaven. one i'm so happy to be a part of-- even if it is just by watching.
