I will refrain from asking her what possessed her to trim her rose bushes in lousy weather like this.
Let it go. These are the questions that have no answer. ;-)
Thanks. I just called the hospital, and found out that mom just got into her room in the cardiac unit a while ago, and only fell asleep about an hour ago.
She'll have an echocardiogram this afternoon. The CAT scan must not have shown any aneurysm, because they would have immediately put in a stent if it did. A good sign will be if she calls for her crossword puzzles today.
In smaller related miracles, her basement did not flood after the 3/4 inch of rain yesterday. The ground is super-saturated, and the local streams are up about two feet since yesterday. I'm now going to try and get about six hours of sleep before I go to the hospital/run errands/go to work. I'm glad she's sleeping, because I'm still wound up tight. But at least there's relatively good news to be wound up about.
