Mom's a pain - I mean, Mom's back pain (joke)

Gram L was feeling pretty well today after visiting the doc. But he does not have any more options up his sleeve for pain relief. He would like to give the epidurals another chance, switching to a different pain management group, and first doing a cat scan so they can more accurately place the injections. After that, there are not many more options. Joanne postulated that the wooziness she is complaining about might be the new med VIOXX that she's been taking for about two weeks to see if that would help. I don't think it did much, and if it's making her lightheaded, we'll cut it out. I'll be calling the doc back tomorrow on that.

Right now it's the England people that are getting her wound up. David Castle has done some ancestor hunting, and found a cousin of Mom's that is 88 and her daughter who is about 55. They have written her with a pile of info on the relatives, some of which Mom disagrees with. So she is hunting thru pictures to prove her point. And pictures she has! Tonight Sean gave Dani a tiny cute little video cam for her b'day. I would love if they would take a video of Mom telling a bunch of stories and info about the ancestors. We could enlighten the England relatives with it. It turns out that Mom and this 88 year old cousin used to write each other till they were in their early twenties. Wild.
