Taking mom back to the doctor

Now my mother's good shoulder is giving her trouble. It is to the point where she can barely get dressed or pull up her pants. On Wednesday I am taking her to the family doctor (another long trip into the city) and I have no doubt he will be sending her for an X-ray to see what is going on. I'm hoping it is something simple like Bursitis where periodical cortisone shots will help....but given the extent of her Rheumatoid Arthritis, Osteoarthritis, and Osteoporosis...I have to prepare myself and her for the worst too.

Heading out to her place in a short while to get some emergency pills to see her through until we've seen the doc. Also going to go out for dinner with her and see if there are any household chores she needs doing. Tuesday I'll be back at her place to administer her Enbrel, and Wednesday it off to the docs. Another busy week ahead.

Seems our H1N1 problem has peaked up here....the number of deaths was minimal (way less than the number during the regular flu season). I, personally, am glad we did not get the vaccine. I'm still convinced that we all had the H1N1 last May. Everybody in the family (except for mom) were sicker than a dog...and it lasted a good month. My daughter (who was in the last weeks of her pregnancy) was also very ill. I have no doubt that after Quinn was born the remnants of the illness were still hanging around so in looking back it was no surprise that the poor little tyke ended up in hospital with a collapsed lung. At any rate....we are all fine...so I suspect we are immune. Not that I was ever worried about contracting the H1N1. It is just another flu !!

Hope you are all well....here are a few pictures of Quinn and Mattias. Quinn absolutely adores her big brother.

Take care...all of you.

*Many Hugs and Blessings*

And if you have a few minutes...I have 2 prayer requests....one for my cousin Emmi who will be going in for breast cancer surgery tomorrow and the other for the son of one of my best childhood friends (he is battling non-hodgkins Lymphoma). Stuart had his first round of Chemo on Friday.

Thank you and God Bless.

	Johnwrote: WOW Karin, you have a lot to deal with and you have dealt with a lot, and for that i praise you!!! I am Happy to read that i am not the only one that is against the H1N1 Shot, This is a very touchy subject as you and I already know. I am not sure if i had the H1N1 Flu, because i never had a Fever, But i did have everything else, and mine lasted about a month also, But the First Week of mine was the Hell Week after that i was on the Mend, OK, this is all i am going to say on here about the H1N1 Virus. I sure Wish those Cortisone shots helped my shoulders as i have Bursitis in both of mine, and the only thing that seems to work is Exercise. OK, I have said enough. John Nov. 18
