Hi @Anastasia @Emelia8 @Maggie @BlueBay @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @Shaz51 @Faith-and-Hope @Bunniekins @MDT
I spoke to my daughter on the phone yesterday - she had a radioactive bone scan on Friday and she is having an MRI tomorrow and this whole thing doesn't look good - I am very concerned and I feel I don't get enough information from her to give myself and idea but at least she did listen when I said she was born with a clicky hip and it still is clicky - she never told me that - and she will mention this to her specialist when she sees him again - so that was interesting at least.
She was also asked about her family history with back problems - and yes - she told them it was heavy on her maternal side - mother, aunt, grandfather, cousin - what wonderful genes we have to pass onto our children and how little control we have over it.
I feel drained - how I wish I could go and see her but I don't think I can - her husband has been in which I am glad about but he will be working next week - I may be able to lean on the staff there to get in for a short visit but I am not counting on it -
If we feel rotten about this year we sure are entitled - then we can add our personal issues - so far this year has been rotten and my son-in-law has his birthday coming up soon. I don't know what to do about that myself - I usually get a Bunnings Card - hopefully that will ease the restrictions sooner than that - it is wearing very thin with me now though I have been okay about it until my daughter went back into hospital
Btw - the scan she had on Friday was clear - no cancer, osteoporisis or fracture. She does have degeneration in her discs - from me of course - and I know how painful that can be -
And I was able to send flowers to her on Friday - I am glad about that - I thought I couldn't and didn't know why not -
But I am unhappy - why should I not be? I can handle being unhappy - it's one of life's normal emotions - but I also feel helpless and there is nothing I can do about anything at the moment except take it easy and care for myself - which I have been doing
Thanks everyone for your messages and support
