Another Day In The ER

In honor of my Mother, I chose this beautiful swan for today's pic. Graceful, elegant, and you don't want to mess with either of them! ☺ ☺

Stress
Last Saturday my mother was not feeling well. Vague complaints. I got her to the ER and by the time I left 5 ½ hours later, she had been diagnosed with a blockage of her small intestine.

She was admitted and, to make a very long story short, her surgeon decided to wait until Monday morning to see whether the blockage would clear itself—or he would have to operate.

She’s 95. He really didn’t want to operate. There was a one in three chance the blockage would clear on it’s own.


The good news is the blockage did clear itself. What a relief.

She should be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. I had postponed the installation of Life Line and it will now be done on Thursday.


Please, God. No more emergencies! ☺ ☺
