Sorry to be MIA for the last few days! My mom hurt her back on Friday and I have been busy at the shop.
This morning, Tuesday, she was still in pain, and her leg was going numb, to the point that Dad took her to the emergency room. Turns out she broke a piece of cartilage in her back between two bones and it has been pushing against her nerve endings. The back specialist will see her tomorrow and let us know if she has to have surgery or not!! YUCK!
The one good thing is that it has nothing to do with her cancer, just her arthritis. The Doctor actually said it could have happened to any of us!! So we at least can breath easier that the cancer is not doing something funny! If you are new to this blog, my mom has been battling breast cancer for the last 10 years and is doing GREAT!
But she could use all the good thoughts and wishes you can send her way! She hates not being busy and never, ever sits still. I brought her a stack of magazines and a couple of books, but she is already chomping at the bit to go home, even with how much pain she is in.
Hugs!
Jenny

I will be keeping your Mom in my prayers. I hope everything works out (and that surgery isn't necessary!). Stay warm at the shop...
Love sent your way!
Your mom is in our prayers!! I hope she doesn't have to have surgery.
My sister had major back surgery last year (she's in her 70s) and her recovery period was QUICK! Sure isn't like it used to be years ago thank goodness!
Keep us posted.
Hugs,
Marsha

How did you find such a perfect image..cute! Oh, your poor dear mom...well, I guess the news could have been worse with cancer in the picture! Hope she will can get all the right care. Hang in there mom and sweet daughter! Come say hi when you can :D
Thanks for the update. I knew Emily was stressed, but not why!
Your poor Mom. I hope she feels better soon and God Bless her for fighting the good fight. That cancer demon is so horrible. Take care Jenny!
I'll keep your mom in my prayers. Hope her back gets better soon.
Look after yourself too:-)
I'm taking her chocolate and a Sprite!
putting her in my prayers! Now I must say..I can't believe you even have a pin up for that post! LOL!
Prayers & (((hugs))) for you and your mom. Whatever the trouble, you still manage to brighten our days with the cutest pictures. Thanks.
Jenny, I'm so upset and have just talked with Gail at the shop - hopefully you'll have a chance to call me and let me know where mom is and what her treatment will be. I hope so much that surgery is not required.
I was checking in to tell you Vanessa and I are hoping to stop by the shop tomorrow - perhaps we can go see mom too.
Meanwhile give her a big (gentle!) hug and tell her she is in our prayers and thoughts. Hoping her recovery will be fast!! You take care too dear. XX
Oh Jenny I'm glad that your mom's back injury didn't have anything to do with her condition.
