Oh ladybuggy, I am so sorry your mom fell and I just said a prayer for her. I imagine you are feeling mixed emotions wanting to be with your Mom and not being able to go because of your pain. Thank goodness that your sister can go to her and help your Mom out during her time of need. I pray that this will provide you with some comfort knowing that she is in good hands.
Please keep us posted on her condition.
How are you doing? Have the shots helped you out any?

Ladybuggy, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. My mom is also a cper and I can completely relate. I feelso bad when I cannot help her out because I am in too much pain. I am an only child, but thank goodness my dad is in good health and can help her. My mom falls too and it is very scary. I hope once your sister gets there you get a good report on your mom.
Hugs

hi well my sister got there around 10:30 pm thats as fast as she could and it helped my mom relax her anxiety about the pain it is such a terifing cycle of pain speacially in a crisis .. my sis a nd niece were able to get here cozy by about 1 am and then started break through thank god for family!! they were still sleeping at 10 am this is good my dad got up this morning i'm not sure if he new my sis and niece were coming in or not cause he had taken his night meds i'm sure he was very happy to see them this morning! i'm sure as soon as mom gets through this crisis she will start posting she just got a laptop so i'm hhoping this will make it possable for her to post.
thanks again

Hi there ladybug,
dont beat yourself up about not been able to go there to help your mum. Your mum knows your situation and is happier knowing that you werent attempting the trip yourself. Thankfully your sister is in good health and is able to help. That is what family is for at times like this. At least you can talk to your mum on the phone and your sister can reassure you that everything is okay. I know when I would phone my mum, she would hide the fact that she was in pain, and we didnt know...... so at least your sister is there. My mum died 3 years ago and there isnt a day that goes by that I dont think of her, Cherish your mum, you only get one !
