As I said in an earlier post, I went to Spokane to spend time with my mom before she had an angiogram to find out what was wrong with her ticker. We are so blessed that she only had one blockage. And to make it more interesting, it was on one of the bypass arteries that was done several years ago! So, they scheduled her to have a stent put in the original artery (the one they bypassed!). They said that if they had had the technology 8 years ago that they have today, they would have done all stents, not the bypass surgery!
When we got home from her angiogram, we wanted to get a group shot of those of us that were there. There are seven of us kids and not everyone could be there.
We sure missed them but it was easier to get us all in the shot with two less!
(Ahem...we aren't as small as we used to be!)
After we took the shots, Mom saw a weed ***GASP*** growing in her flower bed!
DIE WEED!
Before her angio, I managed to get a NASTY cold. And of course, since mom taught me to always share,
I did! And so her angioplasty to have the stent inserted, which was scheduled for the next Thursday, had to be postponed. Yep, bad me. I shared with mom. But being the over-achiever that she is, she had to turn it into pneumonia! grrrr. So it was about two weeks later before she had the stent. I was back in AZ by then but my sisters were there for her. And she, naturally, pulled through with flying colors! My sister Mindy was on spring break so she and her hubby were able to stay with her 24/7 until she was cleared to be alone.
We are so greatful for them! It amazes me how things always seem to work out so! If she had the procedure when it was scheduled, no one would have been able to stay there with her! Since I shared, it delayed it long enought that Mindy was free!
Well, that's enough for now! I will get Easter posted soon!
So come on back, ya'll, ya hear?
what a day........ what a day.............
