Well, my head isn't as bad today so that is a relief.  My husband ran a massager on my back and neck last night and while it was incredibly painful, I think it helped some with the pain.  He even ran it on the back of my legs and I nearly went through the ceiling. 

I did appreciate his willingness to try though.  Usually he ignores my pain.  I think he feels helpless and if he ignores it, it will go away.  So when he sees me hurt and tries to help it is a really big deal to me.

 I got an email today that my mom might live another week or two at the most.  She won't eat or take her medications other than the pain meds she has.  She has given up.  I don't really blame her though.  So now I will be more of a wreck because I know it will be very soon.

 Today my pain is not as bad, but my head still hurts.  I am hoping it will stay minimal.  My back is killing me (from the massager?) and I have a sore throat.  I know I need to get some work done but I am so tired.  I have been sleeping better actually so it is very irritating to be more tired than when I didn't get any sleep.  On the upside, at least I am not laying awake all night wishing I could go to sleep. :)
