It is another one of those really rough days.  I woke up about 5am sick as could be, and after meds and eating a bit, I was able to go back to sleep around 7.  I then slept until 11, but boy do I feel horrible.  EO took one look at me and knew I was in bad shape, I did run a fever last night, but it wasn't super high.  But whatever was going on this morning with my digestive tract, through me for a loop.

mom is getting worse.  the spine continues to crush down on more and more nerves.  I think we are going to have to strap her into her chair to keep her from leaning.  She hasn't been able to bend down for some time, as it causes her to gasp.... it doesn't just cause her a great deal of pain but she can't seem to catch her breath for several minutes.  Now even leaning a little bit causes the same problem.  At least she has the oxygen to help but it isn't enough.  There just isn't anything they can do for her, she is in horrible pain 24/7.  She spends most of her time in bed, and she sleeps a lot.  On top of it, her mind is getting worse.  "Critical times hard to deal with..."
