Bettyjo Status Report

Bettyjo was in a tremendous amount of pain over the last few days. Yesterday afternoon they gave her a pain pump that puts a continuous amount of pain meds into her, and then if she pushes a button an additional amount will go into her. She can deliver the pain meds to herself every 10 min. This seems to make her much more comfortable. When I arrived at the hospital this afternoon, she was very alert and talkative. This is the best I have seen her since the surgery.

Monday Brenda will leave for Myrtle Beach with a friend, and Tuesday Emily will leave for Lexington with a friend. Hopefully, keeping them busy will reduce the impact of Bettyjo's hospitalization and recovery. And, the summer will go by much faster for them.

Hi Bob and Bettyjo,
Great idea! It gives you a chance to let us know how you both are doing. Also a place to vent also.
Keep us posted.
Marcus and Brenda
