Mom's doctor visit

  • Mom has a fracture from her fall and will be going to see an orthopedic surgeon.
  • Dr Rivera is going to put Mom on Reclast for her osteoporosis. This is an IV treatment done once a year at a hospital. She will need to take calcium and vitamin D. We'll have to work on that!
  • Dr R couldn't see anything other than arthritis with Mom's shoulder hurting when she wakes up.
  • She got some prescriptions changed to less expensive meds and a new prescription for the fungus on her toe along with a chiding to use it every day!
  • Mom's going to start taking a baby aspirin every day for her heart.
  • We need to make sure that Mom follows up with the doctor who did her colonoscopy several years ago. The nurse called about a month ago and said that the doctor wanted Mom to have another one done and that she'd call back, but she never did. That's the story I'm getting from Mom.
