[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 611998, member: 84"] picture line was finally placed this morning. Sis is in surgery to have a blockage removed from her carotid artery in her neck which is 80 percent blocked. This had to be done before they can even consider anything else. Still no idea of amount of damage or prognosis or even what they are planning to do during the open heart which is scheduled for tomorrow. However somehow they know she will require 24 hr care once she is discharged for at least a week. Never been so darned frustrated. Niece is a cna but evidently has no clue what questions to ask. Mom is there now but is emotional enough that I'm having to hold her hand so to speak to tell her in detail what info I need before I can make a decision about when to go over there. Evidently niece doesn't know what questions to ask and is relying on staff just to tell her.......which is not working well. So I made mom get a notebook and pen and told her to keep it with her at all times. Told her to write down the questions I need answered.....leaving spaces so she can write down the answers because she could easily forget under the circumstances. Sis was just discharged from hospital over kidney issues 3 days ago. Stones were part of it but they don't admit for stones much these days so....no idea what else was going on there. Other than that? No new news. Doubtful I'll be update prior to work........which means I won't be updated again until tomorrow when I get up. Thank you for the prayers. [/QUOTE]
