[QUOTE="Estherfromjerusalem, post: 126591, member: 77"] Hello Sharon! I read on the "Good Morning" thread on the general forum that your mother is having surgery today on her carotid artery which is 90-95% blocked. I hope she is OK and that everything has gone smoothly. I was amazed at what you wrote, that she will not be "put under" completely during the operation, that recovery room will be one hour, and she will be in hospital only one day. I had this done 10 weeks ago (and the other side done six years ago). The anaesthetic was very deep, the operation took over three hours, I was in the recovery room for 24 hours which is a very long time, and I was in hospital altogether for 8 days. It was pretty major surgery. They didn't put in any stents. But in both operations a patch was attached to the artery to keep it open. Both times I had been having TIAs (mini-strokes), and both times we managed to avoid having a real big stroke, and I thank God for that! But I must be honest, it is major and I am still recovering in some respects. How old is your mother? I am 62. I would be really interested in hearing about this. If you don't want to put gory details on the board, then please PM me. I wish your mother a successful operation and a speedy recovery. Love, Esther [/QUOTE]
