Another trip to the emergency room with Mama. not a great way to start off the weekend or month. turns out the new meds for seizures introduced with last month's e.r. visit have caused really bad side effects, and her movements weren't seizures at all but tremors, possibly parkinsons related (since our grandma had it too.) this time however, it took a week in the hospital and 2+ weeks in the physical therapy rehab unit, during which time I again missed work to be there as much as possible with her to keep her emotionally stable. missed out on bowling all month - too bad I already paid! - and gave word at Temple that for the foreseeable future I wouldn't be able to sing or read. the final singing and reading I did do (as I had already committed to be there) was extremely emotional for me.
