Long Bone Survey

Mom is now having her long bone survey. It is a series of 23 x-rays and she has to be standing for many of them. I spoke with the nurse and made it clear that Mom would need to sit down and rest frequently. Mom was not particularly happy about this process - shocking! My concern is that before they had even started her pain level had gone back up to 5 ... after the morphine it had been 0. So in only a few hours (about 3) ... her pain was back!
