You Never Know What Mondays Bring!
Hello Everyone,
Just thought I’d let you know about a little excitement with Mom (Auntie Mary Jane).
Monday morning, about 3 a.m., she awoke to a burning sensation in her lower abdomen. She didn’t think much of it until she felt the area and discovered a bit of a protrusion. Fortunately, she was able to sleep and phoned her physician that morning. His office directed her to Urgent Care where she was diagnosed with a hernia and sent to consult a surgeon. The surgeon attempted to push it back into her abdominal cavity, but to no avail. He scheduled her for emergency surgery that afternoon at 5:00 p.m.
The surgery was a success with no complications. Mom was discharged around 10:00 p.m. She awoke this morning feeling “better than I thought I would”.
As an aside, Memorial’s new North Tower Same Day Surgery Center is state-of-the-art! And the nurses are wonderful.
Lots of love,
Lori
