Oh Joy -Opiates!

Mom's pain hasn't subsided and she saw her doctor yesterday.  Because of her level of pain, he prescribed Tramadol (a mild opiate).  She was nervous about taking it, but did. She slept all night!  

He also recommended she get an MRI - scheduled for April 1 - and wants her to see a neurologist.  Her response:  I don't want to see a damn head doctor!!  I tried explaining exactly what that entails but shes been adamant about not seeing one.  

We shall see what happens! 

As for how it all shakes out between her and I- we each have issues.  And while I'm the kind who usually says forgive and forget, move on, its very hard to do when she doesn't change, still has the same actions and reactions.  Every day that I get home, I try to shake it all off. It sure isnt easy.    Because I know that tomorrow will be another round of words and hard feelings.  


Oh Joy!
