Update on the results of the MRI. It's good news and bad news. The good news is that there is no tear in the rotator cuff (which was a concern). The bad news is that it's the same problem she had with her other shoulder that she had two surgeries on 4 years ago. The doctor gave Mom Paula another cortisone shot, some anti-inflammatory medication, and physical therapy for one month. If her shoulder isn't any better at the end of the month, he's recommending surgery to go in and clean out the joint.
Those boxes look like fun! And let's face it: somebody needs to be having fun around there, because Mom Paula is not having any fun right now at all!
ReplyDeleteSending purrs for Mom Paula. xoxo
Your poor human - the next month is going to be none too fun for her. :-( I hope it does the trick, though and she does not need any surgery. I'm sending lots of purrs her way!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds so ouchy. Keep up the excellent nursing duties, girls, and we'll be purring that physical therapy helps enough without surgery.
ReplyDeleteReading what your Mom may have to have done on her shoulder made our Mum wince. We will purr that the medication and physical therapy work for her this time.
ReplyDeleteLuv Hannah and Lucy xx xx

ReplyDeleteOh Girls, those boxes look like so much fun. We are sending many purrs to Mom Paula that she doesn't have to have surgery. Take care.
ReplyDeleteSending lots of purrs and kitty kisses to your Momma. We hope all the treatment helps her. And oh my look at those boxes. Those are fabulous!!
ReplyDeleteAwesome collection of boxes for you two girl cats to enjoy!
ReplyDeleteWe hope Mom's shoulder improves so she won't have to have surgery again.
I hope the meds and the therapy help because the surgery option is not a good thought. Lots of boxes is a good thing though. Enjoy. Hugs GJ x

Wow, what a fun pile of boxes!
ReplyDeleteWe're purring for Mom Paula and hope that the med and PT helps her shoulder.
I hope your mom doesn't have to get surgery on her shoulder.
ReplyDeleteThose boxes look like lots of fun to play with.
Hope Mom Paula feels better soon!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you girls are lucky to have so many fun boxes!
ReplyDeleteWe are purring for your mom's shoulder. Our mom had shoulder surgery for a torn rotator cuff and shoulders are no fun when they don't work right. We hope the shots & PT work!
Fun that you have boxes to play with Not fun that your mum's shoulder is all wonky.
ReplyDeleteLots of purrs and hugs for Mom Paula. We sure hope she feels better and doesn't need surgery.

...nice work on those boxes!!!
I guess every cloud has a silver lining!! But we hope mom's shoulder doesn't need surgery! xox
ReplyDeletePurring that your mom gets better without the surgery! We're keeping her in our thoughts and prayers.
ReplyDeleteWe are going to be purraying extra hard that Mom Paula does not have to have surgery. That would be dreadful, especially as the holidays are right around the corner. Some nice kitty warmth will surely help. Make sure you two are being good nurses. Purrs and hugs, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
