After a good week at home with us, Mom & Dad are on the road back to Georgia. Unfortunately, because of the Thanksgiving holiday week, the physical therapist was unable to visit the house but Mom had a great session with the occupational therapist. We were also visited by a nurse a couple of times which was reassuring. They tested her blood--both her hemoglobin level and sugar levels were normal.
Mom is doing well. The back procedure seemed to have worked. In the past few days, she has complained of back pain but it isn't the same as before. I think she might have a strained or pulled muscle from using different muscles to get up and down. She is using a walker...most of the time but is beginning to feel stronger. She hasn't felt like using the walker lately but I made her (that went over well with both parents) because I didn't want to risk another fall.
They left Kentucky around 11 this morning. The Occupational Therapist suggested they stop about every hour & a half so that Mom can stretch so the trip may take a little longer than the usual six hours.
I will posting more details & pictures of their visit here in Kentucky at The Martin Messenger.
Here's a picture from Thanksgiving, though.
Also, Mom sees her Vasculitis specialist, Dr. Waltuck this coming Monday. I will be sure to let you know what he says. Thanks for your prayers and hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
