I got a call yesterday or the day before (honestly the days blur now). That my Mom was at the hospital up in Vermont with heart pains and burning.
I think it was Tuesday, so two days ago.
She was admitted to the hospital up there and then it was determines that they needed to do a heart catheterization to see what was going on. They moved her to Dartmouth’s hospital in New Hampshire where the procedure could be done.
Today she had the procedure. It turns out that her right artery had two blockages. One 95% blocked and the other 85% blocked. The former got a stent and the later got ballooned.
She’s on the mend and in good spirits.
But only now that this is behind us do I realize that I could have lost her. She didn’t have a heart attack, instead she had an unstable angina. This could have been so much worse.
Thank God it wasn’t.
I’m so emotionally drained. But writing this out is helping me process.
