Back to the E.R.

I came home last night and found a more-in-pain Alison than the one I left. I didn't think that was really possible. This morning I convinced her that we need to be seen immediately. Her feet are swollen a night with feet elevated has no impact. We can't break the fever with 1000mg tylenol. Her pain is so high that it takes nearly 2 minutes to stand up, supporting herself on her walker and grimacing big. To control the pain, she takes enough pain meds to put me under, and is in a constant state of sleep.

Couple all that with the recent reports of growth, new tumors, etc, and we've waited long enough. I'll keep you posted.

+++We're being admitted now, after several tests...

+++By the way, if you've written Alison lately and not received a response, please do not be offended. She's been in a drug-sleep, basically since we've moved, and in when she's fully attentive, I'm greedy enough to demand her time and attention. I write this because we've received several nice letters from some big hearts, and they've gone without response. Thank you very much if you've written a note of encouragement, etc.
