Just another day in paradise
I need to make this short, as my stress level is over the top today….
I spent some time at the hospital this morning having and abdominal ultrasound of my kidneys, liver, spleen, pancreas and gall bladder. I won’t know the results until Monday. The test was ordered because I am having some intense pain around my liver, with referred shoulder pain. The US tech was great, and although she could not tell the results, hinted that all was fine by saying "I wouldn’t worry yourself over the weekend based on what I see".
My moms tests results are back. She has 2 blocked arteries and her heart is enlarged. She will need to have a cardiac cath done to determine how to correct the blockages. Because of her bleeding disorder, she has a 10% chance of having a stroke with the procedure. I spent 2 hours on the phone with my brother surfing the net to find some good cardiac docs in Dallas for her to see for a second opinion. INTENSE does not describe my afternoon. Insane, wild, mind blowing just about wrap it up.
I need some alcohol BAD!!!!!!!!!
Oh, hark…..what do I hear? GAK, GAK, GAK, GAK. Oh, yes, the icing on the cake of my day…Pussy Willow vomit to clean up!
False alarm…she ate it again.
Gawd.
