I visited Mom today and once again, she looks great. As soon as she's able to use a walker on her own again, she will go home. IDK but God keeps her bouncing back.

Thank you for all your prayers and concerns.

I don't tend to become bogged down with grief or sorrow over her failing health. She is a Christian as I am, and knows when she does die she leaves this earthly world for a far better place with no illness etc. I believe that Christ took all our sorrows upon Him that day on the cross. I do tend to become overwhelmed with other people expecting me to do things or handle things and also to do them on their time schedule, which I don't or can't do. Once I step back and stop, I do fine.

The cooler weather we had recently helped to break my pain flare. The nerves go haywire with the hotter temperatures (though the muscles love it, thus the whirlpool helps them.)

It appears to me that I am having more pain flares than usual, but they are much more manageable overall.
