Yesterday my mom went to the ER with crippling abdominal pain.
It took them most of the day to figure out what it was. It ended up being an impacted gallstone and a majorly inflamed (but not ruptured) gall bladder – suggested prognosis was laproscopic removal of impacted stone, gall bladder, and some surrounding tissue.
She went pre-op this morning, and they scratched the surgery after she was in pre-op for an hour, due to the onset of cardiac ischemia. Now, they need to do a bunch more testing to figure out what the hell is causing it.
She’s doped up, and sleeping, Cardiologist at 3.
What a fucking ride.
ETA: thanks for the well wishes. The damn cardiologist is running late. Awesome.
