thought since i was posting - and actually had some time today -
happy 4th BTW...i'd let youknow what was happening on our end -

my mom has had some minor set-backs. the doc and her podiatrist
talked her into buying some "special" shoes - ones with a higher toe
box. and to the tune of $400+ (thank goodness insurance covered
most of it).

well - these shoes caused a sore on the side of her foot/ankle. and
we all know how things like that heal. so it's been 2 months now
back and forth to the wound center - it's almost healed up
completely - the problem...she can't put on a shoe and because of her
feet all she can really wear are flimsy bedroom slippers - so she has
also been home for 2 months. this is really frustrating her because
it's summer time - and when she can actuall y get out to do something
she is stuck at home - it wouldn't bother her so much if it was
winter when she stays home most of the time anyway -

plus - she has some gravel in one of her kidneys - so doc told her to
drink cranberry juice - which has now interacted funny with one of
her meds giving her a picky feeling in one of her cheeks off and on...

sigh - so we're dealing on this end - it's all those stupid little
things that frustrate you enough - cuase they usually turn into
something bigger -

anyway - hope everyone has a great holiday -

write when you can -
