Bi And Large

Mom is back in the hospital :(

She has had something go wrong with the pins and poles in her leg and foot, and she's in excruciating pain no matter how much percocet she takes. She didn't sleep all last night from it. One of the pins near her ankle has come loose and is moving and twisting now, which can't be a good sign. And it's not like it is a straight pin, it is a curlique kind of shape. So that's not so positive.

She and dad headed back this morning and the guess is they will keep her at least overnight until they can get the podiatry surgeon back in to take a look. No one else knows exactly how her brace is constructed inside so they really need his advice.

Mom is in a LOT of pain and is very, very discouraged. For the first time she is welcoming the idea of amputation and last night was begging my father to just cut her leg off. And that is very UNlike her, she always downplays everything. So it has been a hard day or two for both of them. Some prayers for strength for them, please.
