Choices

Well Lorii is still in hospital, will be until Friday, and today chooses which drug out of many to use to treat her MS long term. She now describes the sensation in her left hand as having a really tight rubber glove strangle it. They've given her some new medication to help with that but it is a cumulative one and will take some time to get working. The steroids given to help speed the MS relapse have screwed her blood sugar so much that she is now being taught how to inject insulin. This and the fact that she will have to self inject the new MS drug she has to choose today has really got her down. It didn't help that the doctors came and told her what her choices were, told her she had 24 hours to decide, and left her. Within a few hours of them leaving she had promptly forgotten what her choices were.
