Setback for Mom

Mom hasn't been feeling too well the last few days. She has had some back pain which became pretty significant by the end of last week. On Friday morning she wasn't able to keep her breakfast down. I took her to a doctor where they told us she should take Vicodin for the pain but there wasn't much else they could do for it because she has degenerative disc disease and spurs that come out from her spine which will sometimes cause pain like this.

What the doctor didn't address was her inability to keep food in her stomach. That has continued through the weekend and today was the first time she could eat anything without it coming right back up. I was going to take her to the emergency room but when I called her this afternoon she said she is feeling better after reducing the pain pill to 1/2 pill at a time. So far today she has not thrown up. I'm going to check on her after she eats some dinner and if she can't keep it down will take her to the ER tonight. Otherwise I plan to call and get her in to see a doctor tomorrow.
