Lindsay's visit

Lindsay came to visit mom from Washington. Lindsay is always good at helping her arrange things in her bedroom. Mom always feels so much better after company.

Having more problems

Mom is having stiffness in the head and neck. The stiffness makes it very difficult to turn her head or look up and down. This is a problem when she walks because she can't see what is directly in front of her. She also has problems eating because she can't look down to see her food. She is on steroids for the neck problem and on a pain medication day and night hoping to ease the stiffness.
She can still shower and take care of her bathroom needs. That's all I pray for.

Mom not feeling well

She had a bad cold, then she started having pain in the back of the neck and her head up behind both ears. She can only sit or stand for a few minutes as she has difficulty holding up her head. Her hospice nurse is trying to get a hold of the Doctor to get steroids to take down the swelling in the neck and back of the head. She will just use these for a few days. If this doesn't help the pain, she will just have to up her meds.
