The x-ray shows two pelvis fractures, probably "spontaneous breaks" from her osteoporosis. She is able to sit in her wheelchair so the doctor says there isn't bone movement or she wouldn't be able to tolerate sitting. The only thing they can do is pain medicine.
Tonight she was in a good mood, smiling & talking. We kissed and talked alot. She said she wants a two story house. I asked her what about a mansion and she said "no, that's too much."
It takes two to lift her now so it isn't so painful for her. The nurses get her up for meals and let her stay up for a little bit then back to bed for a rest. Rhea Lynn and I go after work each night to change her clothes, wash her and put her to bed.
I can't remember the name of her pain meds but it has a low dose of morphine. As soon as her head hits the pillow she's asleep, so we have to kiss her good-night before we put her to bed.
I don't know how she handles it - she amazes me.
