Three more days have gone by. My mom still feels the same but I see a difference. She is more engaged in life. Every day she focuses more on external things and less on the internal distress her body is still feeling. The pain is still there for sure. Two nights ago she had severe pain in her legs and feet for about 2 hours at about 10pm. She finally took a sleeping pill. Once her body rested the pain subsided. I believe she had over done it that day. This disease does not respond well to exhaustion. She gets tired very easy. I was surprised when I went to visit her and she said she had dyed her hair. She did it herself. That really was a big feat. She was exhaused but did not know why. She needs to remember the things that use to be easy, are not any more. Not for awhile anyway. Patience. Easier said than done.....Jeanie
