Trying to be the best me, I can be
Hadn't posted this, but can't get to sleep so I figured I'd share. On Wednesday my Mother had open heart surgery to replace the mitral valve. Thankfully the Doc's were able to repair the valve rather than replace it. They also used a less invasive procedure than splitting the chest open. Was a long day Wednesday, getting her to the hospital at 4:30 and then sitting around waiting to hear the outcome. Thankfully she made it through the procedure well. Didn;'t get to speak with her till the next day due to the anesthia not wearing off completely for some hours after surgery. She's really weak (although they had her walking) and has a UTI from the catheter. Disturbing to see someone who was so healthy one day (she walked 2 miles the day before the surgery) seem so frail and confused the day after the surgery. Hoping she will pull through. I would appreciate your prayers Gents.
