Just a quick update...my doctor seems to think the pain in my right shoulder for the past four months is severe muscle strain [or sprain] around my rotator cuff, [but without tests he can't be sure if it's the actual cuff or not.]  I have been on a heating pad all evening, not just on the shoulder but today the constant pain is also going down my back, mainly the far right side [at my waist.]  Moving certain ways and deep breaths are unbearable.

My Mother-in-law is still in the hospital.  They are running tests, but at this point we still don't have any answers. She had a reaction to something they put in her IV yesterday AM and they called..we all rushed over...things looked really bad. [She pulled out her IV and was very combative...[very odd behavior especially for her.]  She still is difficult to understand when trying to talk and she's not slept at all in the past 4 days, but they don't think it was a stroke...just a reaction to medication.  Honestly hearing the phone ring fills us both with dread...[and it seems to ring constantly these days.]

Madison has an infection in her eye and sinus area.  She's on two antibiotics and doing some better, not responding as quickly as we hoped though.  The vet said if her sugar doesn't blow up [which it could at any time]...between her age, arthritis [her one leg/hip area is shot] and not seeing well...with moderate cataracts in both eyes...she might have another year with us.  [Just not something that I want to think about..she's our fur-baby and I just can't imagine her not being here with us...ever.] 

I will  try to post again when things slow down and hopefully everyone is feeling better [soon I hope.]
