Mom's surgery

Mom had vascular surgery done on her left leg yesterday at UAB Hospital. She previously had her right leg done at the same place. One of the nurses or doctors came out and explained to us what all they did and how things went. Mom will have four scars on her leg (Just like her right leg). Shorts are out of the question! But mom never really wears them anyway, so maybe it will not be a big deal to her.
She done great. Had some small bleeding, but that was to be expected due to the medicine she is on.

When we all left last night around 7:45pm she was still in la la land. Here are some crazy things she did:
•Put a bedpan on her head, then she threw it in the floor.
•Kept talking about her dad who passed away several years ago.
•Said they were supposed to take her to CCU. (Still not sure if she was correct on that or not)
•Kept talking about a scanner and there being a 10-50 (which is police code for a wreck)
•She said some more things that are private, but she was funny to say the least

Oh and I got her on video, so she can see what she was like. I just wish I had caught the bedpan incident!

So thank you to Dr. William Jordan at University Hospital in Birmingham!
