My ma

[torainfor]

If you have a moment, please pray for my ma. Last Spring, she got a debilitating sinus infection. So bad, the doc put her on the antibiotic levaquin. One of the rare side effects is Achilles tendinitis. Before long, she could barely walk. While walking downstairs from her last PT appointment, she got the even rarer side effect--her tendon popped off her heel.

She was in extreme pain for two or three days, but quickly recovered. A couple of weeks later, she had surgery to reattach it. Getting out of the car after surgery, the other popped off.

After a couple of months vacuuming in a wheelchair and discovering her hair's extreme limits in regard to washing, she finally got back on her feet about a month ago. Now one has popped off again.

She's understandably discouraged and, I imagine, scared. I can't imagine going through life constantly afraid that the next step will result in so much pain. Please pray for quick healing and that the other tendon will stay where it's darn well supposed to.

Thanks

Prayers away

Your prayers worked! (That or I need to call my mother more often.) The tendon isn't completed detached this time so they're not going to do surgery. They are going to take her off PT so as not to aggravate it, I think.

Still, I'm guessing about now she wouldn't mind being a big cyborg.

No kidding! Yikes! I think, at this point, I will never underestimate the dangers of a sinus infection again....

Hallelujah for the power of prayer. Will continue to offer them on her behalf, and yours.
