Waiting

Urgent care sent us to the ER because Mom's in Afib. We haven't been seen other than to have another EKG done in the triage area. Can this day be over?

UPDATE: It's about 1 a.m. Sis and I were allowed to leave around 11. We stopped and got fast food and brought it home, made sure the dogs went out, etc.

Mom was waiting on a CAT scan with contrast. She hasn't been admitted to the hospital, but is in a single room in the ER. The chances seem good that she'll have an angioplasty before they let her come home.

Giving her oxygen improved some things.

That's about as much as I can handle right now. I'm going to go crash in my bed with a dog (I hope).

Update

No dog to sleep with, sadly. Severe leg cramps.

Mom will probably be in the hospital at least one more day and night: Afib, low oxygen level,and high blood pressure. The contrast dye made her nauseous, and no one brought her breakfast.

I don't know what the weekend will look like.
