Pain Pain go away

I think it's hard to imagine how cancer can cause such intense pain. Most of us have had our own brush's with pain.....Injuries, surgery, migraines. But nothing compares to this. We battled the pain demon last night. It seemed like no matter what we did, we couldn't control mom's pain. Neither of us slept. I cried. We were both so tired and frustrated. It's just no way to live.
Home Health came in today to do an assessment and determine what services they can give momma Flora. Sounds like we will see a physical therapist to help her get her strength back and a nutritionist to help with her intake. But again, all of these things hinge on pain control.
We started something new today and right now she's actually comfortable.
Pain pain go away.....
