Monday 12/16

Mom started having pains in her ribs today...a sure sign the cancer is spreading.  The doctor said to use a heating pad and take it easy so that's exactly what she did.  She sat up in the living room for awhile and we watched t.v. and I read her some writing I had just completed.  A friend of the family called today from Las Vegas -- Leslie.  Mom and Dad were both thrilled to hear from her. We met her years ago at a small local casino in Henderson and it was like she was a long-lost daughter/sister.

We haven't heard from the oncologist yet; I anticipate a call tomorrow or Wednesday.  Hoping the heating pad works as well as increased pain meds so she can move a little easier tomorrow.
