Friday and Saturday morning

Mom has been doing quite good with the recovery of her surgery.  We think she hit a brick wall, so to speak, on Thursday, because the steroids are wearing off from Monday.  She was feeling better yesterday, though.  The only issue she had was her ankles were swollen.  The doctor said he thought it was more an "overall health" issue and should be treated by her Primary Care Physician.  Since Mom has never been bothered with swelling of her ankles, we both were wondering if it could be due to the Vicodin.  I'm so proud of her, and that she's taking that just when she needs it.

This morning, after breakfast, she got dizzy, and went and laid down in bed. Unfortunately, that is one of the side effects of Vicodin.  So, she said she's going to just try to cut down on it and see if that helps. 

We are all thankful the Lord has answered prayer in that her recovery has been going good for her.  On Monday, she'll get her pathology report and also find out how things are looking from the doctor.

Also, this morning, she was surprised to receive a vase of beautiful flowers from her home church, Cornerstone Baptist Church.  Thank you, Pastor Jim and church family for all the lovely flowers and prayers for Mom.
