I can't believe all the screw ups you are experiencing at HUP. Is she now going to see the cardiologist at Penn? I would assume there had to be a script for this so why did she get a stress test when they wanted an echo? They should be able to get you in for the echo and see cardiologist right away since she needs other surgery. PUSH FOR IT.
Meanwhile you need to take care of yourself. Get some meds to calm you down and allow you to get some sleep.
I feel so sorry for your Mom. Just when she gets herself all set for the oral surgery something else rears its ugly head. Hopefully, they can get the heart issue resolved quickly so she can get rescheduled.
Take care,
Eileen
