I really like our primary office, they are a terrific bunch of people and I guess being a patient there for years I have just come to realize how lucky I am to have such a wonderful group participating in my care and that of my family. I should take a minute and send them a note as such. The doctor I saw yesterday gave me a script of ativan for mom, told her she can score it if she felt she didn't need as much. I am on my way out in a few minutes, nothing new to post except the same frustration at waiting and watching my mom suffer in pain the times the meds are wearing down. I told her we could ask if she could take it sooner, she doesn't want to. I think she's going to be difficult to get to take her meds that she will be going on after the radiation starts--I am assuming that she will probably need something more. I have read posts here where some people said they did fine on radiation treatments...I pray that I will be one of them saying that about my mom. How is Jack? I read your posts all the time, you are always helping someone-God bless you, but I don't recall hearing how he and YOU are. Donna
