Mom update

[nightrythm]

So my mother has canceled her surgery. The doc at the Mayo Clinic told her that the pain is most likely due to the nerve damage and not due to her hips. He explained to her how to tell the difference between the two sets of pain and said that if she could stand the hip pain then she can put off her hip surgery. Which is exactly what she wanted to hear.

Of course, that still leaves her without a resolution to the pain caused by the nerve damage. So while I'm pleased she won't be going under the knife, I'm still frustrated because I know she's in serious pain and there doesn't appear to be any relief for it. I should probably ask her if she's willing to consider reiki. Godess knows, she's started going to Chinese Herbalists, so she might be wiling to think about it.

My mom uses Chiropractic and nutrition to help people.
I can pass on her number if you want.

Well, that's good news...and no so good. At least it sounds like she's got more options to explore vis-a-vis pain-reduction, so it's overall more positive than fer sure going under the knife soon. Wishing you 'n' her well.
