We think Mom's back pain is gone. She is able to move around much easier and isn't complaining of the pain. Also, the endoscopy yesterday looked the same as last week--they found an ulcer but it was not bleeding. They will keep her on some stomach-coating medicine until she can follow up with her GI specialist in Atlanta.
Mom was very confused all day yesterday. She knows who we are but isn't sure where she is or what's going on. It is difficult to talk to her because she rambles on about things that make no sense. The doctors/nurses say that could be due to the anesthesia. She was put under two days in a row and could still have it in her system. She is off the pain medication now so hopefully today will be a better day.
Also, Mom and Dad will be staying up here for Thanksgiving. We are moving the feast to our house so it will be easier for Mom and are looking forward to both families celebrating together. In spite of a rough year, we still have so much to be thankful for.
