Thanks and update

Thanks for all of your support. They've decided on an angioplasty (balloon) for my mom's blockages. They will only do one and if that doesn't work they will add a new artery somewhere on the left upper side but they can do it by only cutting her neck or clavicle.  It's not the best option, but it's the only one she's got. Her procedure is tomorrow am. I'm exhausted mentally and physically. She's very difficult to deal with to begin with and I'm at my wits end with my father. Add to that trying to care for my own family, cooking meals for them and her because she won't eat the hospital food . . . ARGH! Hopefully I will get to enjoy a nice night out with the girls on Friday!

I'm swinging, for both of you. 

Hope all goes well for your mom tomorrow!!  Make sure you take care of you during all this!!  Enjoy your night out on Friday!!

Sorry you are going through this Bonnie. Hang in there and remember to take care of you also.

Thanks for letting us know you and your mom and doing. If there was ever a time to ask from help from friends, this is it. I also hope you allow yourself to take shortcuts for now - like picking up a roasted chicken or something good from deli. You get the drift.

We are all swinging for you. Sending good vibes your way, Bonnie.

Sorry to hear you are having such a stressful time. Hang in there and hopefully things will turn around soon. Make sure to keep taking care of yourself, you can't take care of anyone else if you aren't 100%. If you can't get a meal to her, she will eat the food.
