Hoping, trying, intending to remain as stable as possible.


Am feeling exhausted. In pain.


Accompanied my mother to an emergent Orthopedic appt. yesterday.

She has torn BOTH rotator cuffs.


Surgical repair is not an option.


She continues to live with the hip joint infection which came from hip replacement surgery almost 2 years ago. This infection (and control thereof) has been tenuous. Specialists predict the infection will last for the rest of her life. (It's a deadly infection if not kept under control. Leads to sepsis, which has already happened once. She was very, very close to losing her life. She continues on daily antibiotics in hopes of suppressing the infection.)


My mother lives with me.

I do not yet know what all of this means. Putting one foot in front of the other.


Love to All
