I just got back from the hospital checking on mom. She is doing pretty well. She has gotten up and walked the halls a bit with a walker. It really helps her out because her hip is still hurting pretty badly. The area where her gall bladder was taken out is doing pretty good. Now the area where her kidney was taken out two months ago is another story! It started hurting before the gall bladder surgery and these past two days has swelled up and turned red. They did a ultrasound on it yesterday and saw that it was a pocket of fluid and maybe a small hernia. Her kidney doctor ordered a CT scan on it for this afternoon and he will look at the results and see her today or early tomorrow. Her main doctor came in just before I left and said her heart rate was a little elevated since the surgery - so she is also going to have a CT scan of her lungs to rule out a blood clot. Cancer patients are more susceptible to those. She will have that this afternoon as well.
So long story short - still in hospital - waiting on scans and doctors....as usual!
