for my contacts only2

My mom... one side only had a little blockage (nothing they were worried about)... but on other side, one artery was 80% collapsed... so they set up to put a stint in... but hit it with Nitro 1st & it opened up COMPLETELY!!! The doc said that it was just a spasm that acts just like if it was blockage. The doc said they went from prepping to do a stint (a very large one) to absolutely nothing! So... all is good. They're just going to add one more med to her regimen.

She looked terrific & was joking with the nurses & my sister & I, soon as she came back to her room. ... Oh... yeah... I lucked out that my sister, Gina, decided to take her home. (They both saw how I was about to fall asleep... only had about 10 minutes sleep. Now I'm up to about 2 hours since yesterday after 4p.m... going back to sleep shortly.)

Oh... yeah... I forgot to tell you all (actually... I didn't know this until Saturday!!) that Gina was to have a Biopsy of her uterus today... but after the doc looked at her... they said they need to schedule her for a DNC and / or a laparascopy... however, she did have an ovarian cyst that ruptured... but they didn't seem that worried about it that they said they won't do procedure until 1 week.

Ok... that wraps that up... I'm just ticked pink that all went well with Mom & Gina. (and that I didn't have to run Mom home. LOL) But frustrated that Mike didn't go to school AGAIN today. (That's now 12 days!! ... found out he can miss 18 all year.) Mom, Gina & I are basically counting the fact he's not going to make it. We're mad at my ex & his folks that they are doing nothing to help. (More on that later.)
