My thoughts by Paul M. Dugan

 Hi…,      Our mother is doing much better after her fall while doing PT & OT at the rehab center for now (she had a hospital stay earlier this year).  Pain management is still a problem for her at this time.  If you want to visit or call our mom let us know.  Thanks to all that have done so.
