@artist01, @becsbuddy, @merpreb @sueinmn,
@johnbishop, @loribmt, @kilh, @artscaping, and all...Hello, my friends with precious babies, rabbits, chippers, beautiful views of rivers and hay bales and farmland and gardens.....
I send pics of my patio, rescue plants, ...
I love all you share with us. What fun!

Robs been in pain crisis for a couple of weeks, worsening. He spent the last days of the week screaming in uncontrolled pain, even with the dilaudid pump and all we knew to do. So, something inside quietly told me he was going to Mayo ED, now. So, we did. I must admit, a bit of Mama Grizzly appeared. She does if he doesn't get proper or serious help, etc. He was admitted after receiving meds. Pain docs and neurology wouldn't consult. His pain doc heads a good spine center. Mayo neuro gives him botox relief. So, who's going to help him?

Anesthesia, suggested by a dear nurse, gave him a nerve block to buy 12-15 hours til he could see his pain doc. Home, he ept, and I spent hours Friday a.m. working to get him into see the doc...they close on Fri, noon! He saw doc at noon! I was at his condo with plumber, stopped kitchen sink. Doc adjusted pump, gave him pain shot, and Monday he gets another procedure.

I'm recovering from another mini-breakdown....#3,245, I think.

So, fed birds, watered plants, put together a month of Robs pills, rested and tomorrow I take pics of furniture in storage, to sell and move to my place. Have plumber Wed. To take down LR wall, bath room upstairs wall, part of DR wall and all of downstairs wall...to repair/remove cast iron drainage pipe. Then, tile woman is replacing all 3 bath tile floors, all walls, putting up bead board in half bath, painting. Then, plumber back to install all vanities, add plumbing in master for 2 sinks.

Then, #3246 breakdown.

And so it goes.

I'm including the chandelier at Mayo Florida Hospital Lobby, the waterfall honoring the lovely family who brought Mayo here, in the '80s. Went to Rochester a lot, so donated land and buildings and Jacksonville is blessed with the center. I'm going to send you all pics of the campus, share the Florida beauty.

Also, attached updated pics of rescue plants...
Love and blessings to all...elizabeth

@ess77 Oh, Elizabeth, I feel your pain! It seems humanly impossible for you to be overcoming these challenges and you're still somehow able to hold it together. (Sort of!) Your message had me virtually wincing in empathetic pain for you.
My thoughts are with you and Rob.
Hang in there, girl.
Hugs, Laurie

Oh golly, Elizabeth. When will you and your Rob get a break!? I’m so sorry he’s in such agony, and of course that means you’re feeling it too. I’m echoing @artist01’s comments in my thoughts for you while you’re trying to valiantly to hold it together.
I hope your son finds some long term relief. 😘

Your rescue plants are springing to life! That’s always fun and rewarding. You have a very kind and nurturing heart, Miss Elizabeth.

What a pretty glass chandelier! Mayo is a home to so many glorious works of art. One of my favorites is the Chihuly glass pieces in one of the entrances to Rochester’s Mayo Campus. Posted below.
