Update on Mom

[hollyking]

I was already having an off morning and when I got into work a reminder popped up with this note from my Mom:

One side of my heart doesn't appear to have proper blood flow when I'm at rest but seems to be fine when I'm exercising. All other tests do not indicate what might be causing this so...

On December 27th they are going to perform a cardio cath and see what they can find. If they do nothing extra like place a stint or ballooning, I will go home that evening. Otherwise, I'll be staying over night.

I've been promised that someone will call me to let me know what happens but I'm still so far away.

I hope she's okay. I haven't read lj in a while: are these the arteries that supply the heart with blood, or is one of her atria/ventricles not working correctly at rest?

Thanks! Sadly Mom is not the most forthcoming with details. If I'm lucky my brother will be the one who calls so that I can get some good answers.

Good thoughts from over here. If it's any comfort, my mother has went through a lot of these things, including a stent, and she's still here.
