My Mother is back in the hospital. This time, we never saw it coming.
She threw a couple of blood clots. They went in today, and discovered she had some in her aorta. These they cleaned up, with no damage to her heart.
However, she had one in her leg. The left is pink and healthy. The right is dead below the knee. So they're going to take that on Friday, once she rests from today's surgery.
Yes, its bad. We could have lost her. But there is a silver lining here.
The leg she's losing is the one with the bad knee. So after they amputate it, they'll do the hip replacement on the other, and with a good prosthesis, which her insurance will cover a high quality one, she might just walk again. In any way, alot of her pain will be gone.
I just want this year to end...
