this morning mama's been crying because her right arm hurts alot. so i applied some stuff and gave her pain meds. couldn't find any swelling or bruising, and she could move it as per normal so i ruled out a stroke. thought it's either an injury from all the lifting or just her renal failure end stage pains. smsed mom to let her know. when i came into my room about half an hour ago to check on her, her right chest was swollen, like abnormally puffy. sat her up and undressed her to examine it. it's extremely tender to the touch and it got to that size really quickly. called mom and told her. mom said to send her in to A&E, but i told her mama refuses to go, so she said to comfort her first and wait. so i'm comforting her and waiting. it's probably a fracture from being lifted at the armpits so often. her bones are very breakable. :(

i think mom is trying to get half day leave to come home, take a look, and make mama go to hospital.

thinking about her unwillingness to go, i suddenly remember how she bit a nurse in the past. lol. no damage done though, i think it was a gummy bite.
