***PAIN***-Out Of Control

Marilyn's pain went way out of control today and her doc requested that I
take her to emergency. I just got home from the Hospital - it is 2 AM. We
only waited 4 hours to get a bed in emerg (last time it was 18 hours).
Marilyn had good nurses and I was able to find the closest parking spot in
the parking lot - Thank the Lord for that because I needed to go out to the
van quite often through the whole episode. Marilyn was seen by 2
specialists and the consensus was that she needed to be admitted in order to
manage the pain but most importantly - to determine the cause of he pain.
Both specialists are thinking the pain is a direct result of her tumour but
there are several possibilities as to what is going on. Some possibilities
are more serious than others but no matter what is causing this it needs to
be attended to immediately. They are going to try to get some new images
tomorrow and then discuss the best possible action to take. She will most
likely be in for a few days but the way things were looking tonight it
didn't matter what meds they administered - the pain kept getting worse.
Obviously we won't be travelling to California on Thursday. I will keep you
posted as to what is happening. Thanks for your prayers.
