Update on Mama Vi
I thought I ought to update y'all on how Mama is doing. She hurts. A lot. But she's been kind of fiesty the last couple times I've spoken with her and that is a good sign. A sign that maybe all that fight hasn't really gone out of her.
My sister picked up one of those lift chairs for her and much to my surpise she LOVES it! I really thought her pride would interfere with that whole thing but it didn't. And it allows her to sit/sleep comfortably. Well, more comfortable than she was.
She has a doctor's appointment this week with a specialist. None of us really think we'll hear anything different than what they said at the hospital, but it'll be nice to get another opinion.
Oh - and my friend is going to stop by to visit with her after work. THAT really puts my mind at ease. Mama loves her to pieces and they will both enjoy that visit. Plus it'll give me a clearer view of what is going on over there.
Anyway - so that's what we have right now. The good news is that she's resting better and doin' everything the doctor told her to. I hate that she still hurts so bad, but she IS following instructions. Ohhh it's going to be a long LONG winter.
I told her last night maybe I ought to buy her one of those recorders so she can dictate letters for me to type while she's sitting there. She LOVED that idea!
Bless her heart.

Posted by: Peter at December 11, 2006 01:37 PMGlad to hear Mama Vi is pretty much herself, even with the pain. It must be a real load off of your mind to know she is dealing with things this well so far. We'll keep up the prayers for her continued well-being.
If you give her a dictaphone, watch out :-)
Or you could help her do a podcast!
