Woke up in severe pain again. I must have rolled onto my side while asleep. We went to Shawn's birthday party at Native New Yorker but could only stay for an hour before the pain got too much for me. Kat had to drive because I still can't. I still need help to get in and out of the shower but at least I can shower. Household chores are still difficult for me. I tried sitting at my desk to do a little reading to try and catch up on some work related items but, after an hour my chest and back hurt so much, I had to go lay down with the heating pad.

I'm getting so frustrated. Everything is snowballing and because of this accident, I can't do much to help mom. I feel so totally useless. We have about 2 weeks left to get her precious items packed and ready to be moved. I'm going to have to rent a moving truck with a lift because some of her antiques are just to big and heavy. Then I have to figure out how to get her car which is inoperable moved and stored somewhere. At this point, I don't even know if I'm ever going to be able to get it restored to working order. It just means so much to her that I don't want to abandon it. She has so little left in this world.
