Mom's doing well physically

Dec 24, 2009

So my sis informed me this morning that they have taken my mom off everything except one IV.

She got off the respirator within 24 hours of her surgery. Preop, they were most concerned about her lungs and talked about her having to be on the respirator for days or weeks. I knew they were wrong. I think this lung thing is why they didn't want to do the surgery 6 months ago.

She's still pretty loopy mentally. She's getting the good drugs. They're putting in a pacemaker this afternoon. She called my sister diabolical -- so I think under the layer of percoset or whatever, she's still in there.

I'm going to go visit her tomorrow. Really hard to concentrate on work!!
