Just walked in from my Mom’s appointment...a bunch of knee and shoulder x-rays later, her knee is swollen and it will probably take 4-6 weeks for the swelling to go away. Her knee is a candidate for knee replacement, but her age is not. Another day of cold packs, then heat. Her shoulder is partially locked. He is surprised she can use it as much as she can.
The doctor told her the very things I have been saying for weeks...she goes nowhere without the walker or cane. “Buddy” her cane, is now, “a part of you”. Both her knees buckled twice while she had to stand for the shoulder x-ray. I had asked if I could be there with her and the tech said fine if I didn’t mind a little radiation. I’m old...who cares. Thankfully I was there holding her and the x-ray tech came quickly. She had to bring in the “muscle” to take her weight as she did the mechanics of climbing onto the step stool, and later the reverse.
Pinging in just a minute...then back to my Mom for a bit. I need to get her settled and fed.
