Chapter 270 - Night Fall
We left for the appointment with the neuro in Hot Air City on last Wednesday after lunch; while I filled the vehicle tanks as we were on the way out of town stomach gripes made her want to return home as quickly as possible. She was bothered for several days following, I hope this is not a new development in her symptoms. I haven't been adding Metamucil to her evening fruit juice and come to think of it, she has not even had fruit juice but has asked for lemonade.
She has tuned her meds slightly to declare that her "toes are not pointing as badly as they had."

These last few days we have both been sleeping better, she has not been needing to get up as often, and quite often she does not need help to sit on the commode. Her pains seem to have reduced a little, although can one become somewhat accustomed to pain? I have been attempting to position her and her numerous pillows (which support her back and legs) more into the centre of her bed so that there is no need for her feet to stick out from under the bed clothes and rest on the commode. And quite surprisingly, yesterday morning at 4:30AM I awoke to a loud crash. I assumed I had knocked the T-hub (phone/radio/etc) off my bed side table as I sometimes do when rolling over in bed when an ear phone button is plugged into my ear. In the gloom I noticed a bundle on the floor between her trolley, table and bed. She was curled up, quite stationary, on the floor. I was quite relieved as she untangled her arms and legs without expressing any painful noises. She assured me she was unhurt. I vaguely remember returning to sleep. Saturday, yesterday, was a reasonable day for her.
This morning she needed help dressing after a shower (standing, without help, even mopped the shower afterwards) and I noticed a bruise on her coxic area. She said her right hip area was tender. These the result of falling out of bed. Her sciatic pains down her left leg persist.
Tomorrow, another visit for Bowen therapy and then on Wednesday another attempt to see the neuro. For the last few weeks she has missed her physio sessions at the hospital due to her pain and inability to walk very well.
