Another Possible Fracture

In Dad's words:
The rheumatologist, who has been trying to get an answer about Joyce's pain, called last night.  He said that the CT scan showed a possible fracture of the sacrum, which is a bone next to the pelvis. This is not definitive, but the scan showed a place on the right side, which is the side about which Joyce has complained.  Unfortunately, there is no surgery that can be done for this type of fracture.  It will get better but will take a while.  Just have to treat with pain medicine.  This is good and bad news.  We now know that it was not just muscle spasms but also that there is not anything medically that can be done at this time.  Hopefully, it will begin to heal quickly.

From Ashley: Lyla and I drove down yesterday in time to celebrate Dad's birthday. We are enjoying our visit. Lyla (who gets just about anything she asks for) is especially enjoying herself.
