Wish her luck

My mother is going into hospital today for an operation. She's having a pacemaker fitted, and we're hoping it will address the tendency to faint that she's recently had.

Best of thoughts to her!

Thanks.

Big sister is with her (the same sister who just took forever to get to Silverstone from Orlando yesterday). And the pair of them are due over here on Thursday afternoon.

Ooh. Good luck indeed.

Thanks.

And good luck with the move (it is today, isn't it?)

It worked for my mum. Best wishes to you all.

Thanks.

Your Mum also was fainting, and it fixed it?

She was and it did, although we both know it is problematic when the only just informed - us - draw parallels between unrelated cases. On my mum's experience, I would be optimistic about the outcome. At their age (she was 80+) they aren't going to expend a surgeon's time and all that money unless they are confident of their diagnosis.

My Mum isn't quite that old - well, 80 within the fortnight.

It's been the thing most worrying us over the last few months (since the cancer was declared clear). It's good to hear about others in the same situation that it's helped.

I hope it goes well for her and makes a definite improvement to her health.

Hope it all goes very smoothly and she's out quickly!

[identity profile] bellinghman.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 10:57 am (UTC)(link)
It's appreciated. And she's due over here on Thursday, so we're all assuming it's pretty much an out-patient op, unlike the replacement hips and radio therapy she's previously had.

Hope it goes well and she's ready for a good Xmas.

I hope so too - at least, Sis will be driving her over, so that makes life easier.

We are assuming she can travel, of course, but we've not heard any expectation that she won't be able to.

Best wishes to her and to you.

They're appreciated

luck most assuredly and wholeheartedly wished.

Thank you.

A bit late in the day but I hope everything goes well. Thinking of you and sending positive wishes.

[identity profile] bellinghman.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 07:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks. Though she's apparently home by now, so it looks like it all went well.
