Things are getting better

Mom and I went to the clinic first thing this morning.  I went with mom because she wanted a second set of ears for whatever the doc had to say.  It turns out it was a good thing I went because mom didn't remember all that much about what happened last evening.  I guess she was too scared and panicked at the time.  So I had to tell the doctor what mom had described to me on the phone last night.  Mom is still having residual side affects from the antibiotics and endured a few of them while the doctor was looking at her.  So Doc gave her new antibiotics that she only has to take once a day instead of every 8 hours so that is better for her.  Now she doesn't have to keep track of time and remember to take meds at all hours of the day and night like before.

After we finished at the doctor's office we went for breakfast with Janet and her daughter. Mom didn't eat as much as she normally does but she didn't have any trouble keeping the food down and we had a pleasant 2 hour visit.  Then we went shopping at Costco and mom had to run to the bathroom twice...but all things considered that's not too bad.  It's now been 24 hours since mom last took those anitbiotics and it seems to have cleared her system.

We will have to wait and see how these new meds go.  I'm really hoping that they work for her and that she'll be off them completely in the next five days.  It still looks like she'll be able to go back to work on Monday as long as she keeps her foot up as much as possible and since she has a desk job, that shouldn't be a problem.

So YAY to things getting better.  I'm sticking around home tonight and Eric will be home tomorrow while I'm out.  I really don't want to risk a repeat of yesterday.

Thanks for the words of comfort guys.  They made a difference.

I'm gonna go take a nap :)
