6/15/18 -- Well, on the way home from work, on Tuesday, I see the last message that my mom left me - and it said " I am going to the ER." Needless to say, I got on the phone, quickly to find out what the heck is going on. She had been in the Dr's. office and had some blood work done, she has been having some symptoms that were concerning. The Dr. ultimately told her that one of the tests indicated a possibility of a blood clot in her lungs. So, after eating a quick supper, and a sort of heated text messaging conversation with my Aunt, I headed into my hometown, to see my mom at the hospital.
She wasn't upset or freaking out, or anything. Calm as a cucumber, she was. I got the lowdown on what lead to her ending up there, and then we just talked about a variety of different things. The dr. came in and thru talking with mom and myself, he determined that it would be a good idea to get mom started on the water pill that was just prescribed by her dr, earlier in the day. Minutes after getting a dose of the water pill, injected into her iv, she had to go the bathroom.
Thankfully, she didn't have to be in the hospital all that long. The dr. wanted to admit her and do an echocardiogram in the morning. They did and the only thing that it showed was a thickening of something around her heart or something like that. I can't quite remember all the details that she told me and that I read. The belief is that sleep apnea could have something to do with all that she is experiencing. The swelling of her feet, the lack of real sleep at night, the shortness of breath (????).
I have about had it with bad stuff happening in my family! I am done!!!!it's time for good stuff to happen, no more attacks on health, on anyone !!!!!
