Pain, Blood Clot, Vomiting (Aug 27, 2010)

The SCS is still in, Becky says “it’s helped, but not 50%”.  The day before yesterday they turned her PCA pump off and gave her oral Diladid.  The problem with that is she has had nothing in her stomach for a while, so she threw it up & has for the past 2 days.  She is now back on the PCA pump but isn’t using it as much as she was before.  Today I (Mary) got her up to the bathroom and she was able to walk better than I’ve seen in weeks.  So that’s an improvement, I think at least.
Last night she had an ultrasound on her right forearm because she felt a big “knot” in one of her veins.  It was confirmed to be a blood clot.  She is now on Lovenox daily.
I think things are slowly improving…
