UPDATE: my friend's surgery. I spoke with my friend yesterday. I wanted to give her a chance to rest after surgery. She was uncontrollably crying because she was in so much pain and the doctor wouldn't give her anything stronger than dilaudid which doesn't treat pain better than aspirin does for the both of us. She was told that they were releasing her last night! Did they not notice the fact that she's in a wheelchair? Did they miss knowing she has to use her arms to get the wheelchair to move? Were they oblivious to understand that she has to push herself out of the wheelchair just to go to the bathroom? It seems to me that knowing full well that she has had 6 amputations, including a leg below the knee, and spina bifida, that they might give her something that would work better than dilaudid! I don't why but her dad only came down from Delaware yesterday to help out and then went back up today. He used to live next door with his sorta girlfriend'. He moved to DE a few months ago so she's at home alone most of the time. Her son is 20 y.o. and lives at home but works almost full time. The problem here is that her son doesn't have his driver's license only his permit. He can't afford a car or insurance but is trying to save enough money for them. We always try to take care of them to the best of our availability so taking her son from/to work and provide any running errands is no problem most of the time. I just talked to her and she's doing a little better but not able to move around much, not even in bed.
Please keep her in your prayers and pray hard. She needs the Lord's light to get through this!
