In The Hospital

Hubby's Mom

She's in the hospital. Recently had surgery to bypass a blocked artery between the aorta and her femoral artery.

Apparently, she has had this done once before, and the original "stent" is what was blocked.

In any case, the surgery went pretty well, but she is not 'doing' well. Blood flow has been restored and all that, but she looks pregnant! She is not able to pass gas, and the doctors won't let her leave until she has done so.

And now she has thrush in her mouth, which will make anybody ornery--it just hurts a lot. It's not fun to be in the hospital and hurting at the same time.
