an update. since saturday i haven't been able to stand on my left leg; i
felt like it was broken or badly damaged. monday my children took me to my
orthopedic surgeon and they xrayed my right shoulder and both hips. turns
out that in addition to bursitis i already had in my right hip, i now have
severe bursitis in my left hip. an injection in the left one makes 4
injections in 7 weeks, and i still can't walk on it. looks as if this shot
didn't really help at all. the first three were in my shoulders.
also, my tremors have returned. i'm mobile only because of my good rolling
computer chair. billy didn't work monday or yesterday, so he checked on me
several times; also he and jayne came by last night to get my meal for me.
i've been on my own today. i just thank God i'm in montgomery instead of in
florida without family close by. even at work, a phone call gets them if i
need them.

Oh Gwen this isn't good. Maybe rest will help at all? What did the
orthopedic surgeon figure if the injection didn't help? This is the pits!
Thank goodness for the kids. Don't worry about phoning them for help - cna
you get home care to stop by? I am not sure on the American system. That
is what would happen here - Canada.
Gentle hugs and good thoughts for a solution.

Oh, Gwen, what a pain - literally! May the doctors soon quell this rebellion
your body seems to be launching! I'm definitely kicking the prayers for you
up a few notches! ((((((((((((((Gwen))))))))))))))

reason Gwen's posts quit appearing on my server a few days ago)
