Ardys, the hospice nurse, was here today. One of the first things the hospice workers ask Erin is if she is in pain. Erin has been having quite a bit of pain extending from the neck to the face due to the iatrogenic Cushing’s disease. So, Ardys suggested ibuporfen and another pain pill 3 times a day to try to keep the pain under control – before it really develops. So, I think Erin is now on 19 pills a day! Oddly enough, Ardys said it was ok to have alcohol. So, when Colleen and Deke arrived with champange Sunday night, Erin could have had some afterall, even though she had taken a pain pill.

I hope the new pain pills are helping Erin cope with the pain. That’s quite a regimen to keep track of..
Too bad she missed the champagne for Deke’s birthday
Ardys must be quite a help with her knowledge of what is good for Erin.
I’m checking the skies soon to see if I will be gardening in the rain!! I promised to help with a project. We’ll probably keep it short.
