UPDATE ON JOY 12/10/2020
Rougher day - If anyone gets a call from Mom, where she tries to get you to help her at home with Cardiac rehab, tell her she needs to talk to me. She's officially grounded for life due to not listening. This morning, she decided she'd be discharged on Sunday, come home, and things would be like they were. Part of that comes from her really missing home.
A few things - they've determined is that she had a minor stroke. If you've spoke to her on the phone, she sounds a little different. That's because she has a little harder time moving her tongue to the right.
She had an Angiogram today, and will need a full bypass. The cardiologist said that her blockages exceed what a stint can provide relief for. Without the bypass, she won't survive the next cardiac standstill. That should occur later next week. She'll be transferred to a surgical hospital that her cardiologist prefers. And - She agreed to it!!
After all that, she'll be re-assessed for a pacemaker, and occupational rehab. She has a little bit of a road ahead of her. It's pretty hard to imagine things will be like they were for her. Thank you all for your prayers. She's a pistol to deal with, but it beats planning a funeral.
