It now appears that Joy sitting in the chair for 4 1/2 hours while getting the IVIG infusion was the root of her back pain which I mentioned in an earlier blog.
Now, another turn on the dime.
So after about 9 days of unable to get out of bed and still in excruciating pain, Joy was admitting to the hospital only to learn that she has a compression fracture in her first lumbar in the spine. We await discussion regarding solution (s). Pain is being managed by IV.
We know for absolute certainty that this thing is an ever evolving process but we just do not know what will be next. This one was somewhat of a surprise although we were aware that the combination of age, radiation and drugs create brittle bones. Previous bone density scans have verified this in pre-transplant testing.
What next?

So, sitting around with nothing to do is not all it is cracked up to be? You keep fracturing those bones and you will be as short as Sharon Bible and me. :) I know, the pain is nothing to laugh about so I hope VERY SOON a solution will be found. I am sure you are not the first to have this problem. Wish they had found it sooner rather than later.
Keep your chin up! Sharon
Hey Guys,
Well, it's always something isn't it! We're sorry to hear that Joy is in so much pain. Let's hope that IV does the job. Best Wishes for a speedy recovery from this latest issue.
Love to all.

Dear Joy
We are so very sorry to learn of your vertibrae fracture and the pain that was present. Hopefully the Orthopaedic Dr's can work their wonders.
We will continue to hold you in our hearts and pray for your full recovery from this painful turn of events.
