Three treatments for Sally this week went very smoothly... Through the week Sally also began to notice a significant reduction in the amount of pain in her hip..
On Wednesday evening we visited with Charles and Mamie Graves at their home in Baltimore. We marvel at how much we enjoy their company, and fellowship, after knowing them for less than a month!
After treatment on Friday, we came home - - - stopping at Massey's, (our favorite ice cream store in Carlisle,) on the way home... (I need to tell you that all this talk about ice cream may be a bit much for Sally.. She ordered her favorite treat at Massey's, but only ate a few bites... ) Dan , Kate and Zolani prepared supper for us Friday evening. They brought us ice cream , but Sally turned down a bowl for dessert!!!
This weekend we plan to rest as much as possible, and hope to reduce Sally's dependency on pain medicine. If possible, we hope to eliminate the pain medicine entirely. Alma made Sally a "rice bag" which provides soothing heat over an extended period of time. Hopefully, by staying off her feet, and using the heat we will be able to make a smooth transition to no medicine..
We return to Baltimore on Monday morning to resume treatment. We'll update you again on Sally's progress on Wednesday..

ReplyDeletewe woke up saturday to a nice white blanket of snow on the ground and dad made buckwheat pancakes!..if you are around their way, you should have him make you a batch – you wont regret it..dad is timid about offering them but Ill tell you - they are delicious..I think between the 4 of us we demolished roughly 20 of ‘em!
& folks –I have to confirm what tim says is true – mom read my last post & commented on it..so what I really think is going on is this..
