    Surgery finally over.....5 hours!

    I was there for 10 hours, but the time passed quicker then expected.

    Doctor said it went almost as well as could have been expected. Now comes the difficult recovery/cardio rehab.

    Thanks again for the kind thoughts.
    That's great Joe!! Best wishes for your Mom's recovery..

    For those of you keeping score at home, my mom is awake and sitting up in a chair. Her blood pressure was very low this morning, but they were able to get it back up (and no, I didn't cause it to go back up..she took meds!).

    The doctor said they may need to do some additional work so that the blood flow to her legs improves.

    Thanks again for the support!

    A few more tubes were removed today, and she went for a walk around the hospital.

    It freaked me out yesterday when I saw her so incapacitated.....never seen her like that before, and I could tell she felt a bit helpless.

    We are all thinking about you - good thoughts and all that positive energy stuff coming your way.

    Appreciate the updates, it sounds like she's doing well. And what Pixie said, be sure to take care of yourself too. It's easy to forget that when you're worrying about a loved one, but keeping yourself strong will only help in the long run

    Damn, Joe!

    Best of health to your mom.............it's so scary.

    My mom is doing much better, thank you!

    She was transferred out of the ICU on Saturday night, and it looks like she may go home tomorrow or Wednesday. It is difficult to believe it has been 2 weeks since she entered the hospital!

    I am doing my best to take care of myself, but at this point, I am running on fumes. Hospital visits and tax season are taking their toll, but I am grateful for the positive results from my mom's surgery.

    You can't take care of her without taking care of you.
    Call me if you need ANYTHING, I mean it!

    Except for going to the mall and to petco, I spent all day yesterday being lazy....that felt good!

    Thanks!

    After 17 days, my mom finally got released from the hospital!

    My sister is gonna tend to her at home starting Sunday, and before that, we will have a care giver help her out.

    My sister mentioned that my mom needed a button-up (in the front) nightgown, and she suggested I go to Victoria's Secret. Imagine how shocked the sales person would be when I told her it was for my mom....kinda creepy! :o
