Hi Paula!
Thanks for the kind words....
Sorry you had a rough week.....but since your Mom made it thru the surgery, it seems she's pretty tough. Anesthesia affect the lungs?
She's in the hospital, getting the care she needs, and hopefully she'll rebound soon. The right meds always make a difference!
One thing I always feel is that it is really important to EAT, especially while you are trying to recover. And hospital food ain't all that. See if there is something Mom wants and get if for her. Sometimes all I wanted was chicken noodle soup, and couldn't get it. And vitamin water or things that will help her feel better.
Here's hoping this is just a minor setback and she feels better soon!
Take care!
