I don't know where to start....
she had the cath done yesterday, we found out that sometime in the past she has had a heart attack. She has some blockages, but the cardiologist said that they could be taken care of later, that the surgery for cancer is more important. He gave her a script for lipitor. He mentioned that there is a 15% chance of something happenening to her heart on the table, heart attack or fatal...15% seems like a lot to me. The more I think about it the happier I am that we have an appt with a rad onc tomorrow. I think I am coming undone...
for a laugh for anyone reading this... normally, whatever that means, I am a semi intelligent person. Yesterday when the nurse came in with mom's instructions he started reading them off, he came to the one about stairs....I have no idea where my brain was, I asked does that mean she can't watch a lot of tv? as in stares.!!! My sister and I laughed so hard she could barely breathe, even the nurse got to laughing, he couldn't look at me. I'm sure that they all got a good laugh out of me, and I'm pretty certain that the next time he gives someone instructions in regards to stairs,he'll think of me!
