Mom's dr. decided he wanted another look at the bones in her chest and back so she got to go for x-rays and a CAT scan today.
My mom is one of the strongest women I know. She had her hip replaced and didn't take anything stronger than a Tylenol to deal with the pain. In fact, when she broke her hip, after slipping on the kitchen floor, she simply pulled herself into the living room, called my dad and asked if he might be able to come home early. Then she waited patiently until he got home to call 911. She a toughie!
But THIS pain... the cancer in the bone pain... is a pain I can't even begin to imagine. To raise her arm is excruciating. To raise her head is impossible. And yet, she had to go lay on a hard table today, twice. I don't think there was enough pain medicine in the hospital.
Please remember her in your prayers. Pray not only for the myeloma to go far far away, but also for her pain to be lessened and her bones to be strengthened.
Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and
healing to the bones.
Proverbs 16:24
