A visiting nurse came yesterday and she seems fine. She has an app't with a cardio doctor as well.
It was just really scary and I'm relieved that she is doing good now. She doesn't even remember she was in the hospital overnight. I called up some friends that I haven't spoken to in a while and just talking to them helped.
I have to stop isolating myself from the world which is not easy being a full time caregiver. I did hire a girl I know and she came last week and sat in the house for 3 hours which gave me a break. My Mom didn't like it but I told my Mom that this help was for me, not her.
Thanks again everyone for reading this,
Jenna
AFib is scary but easy to get under control.
I need to talk to the cardio doctor to find out what caused this to begin with (one doctor thought it was because a hernia in her abdomen popped out and was causing her lots of pain which put extra stress on her heart). I don't know.
The nurse told me my Mom is doing great, eating and walking around.
Anyway, they are waiting for one more test to come back and if that test is good she can come home and they will be sending nurses to the house to check on her. I am in the process of changing her regular doctor because he has not helped her and the staff at the Senior Center she was going to recommended a doctor that comes with excellent recommendations.
I never thought that I would become so close to my Mom but I must face the fact the my Mom is not going to live forever. I also realize I need a better support system.
Thanks again! Jenna
They may want to keep her another day or two to monitor her heart rhythm. I'd make sure she definitely gets the all-clear from the cardiologist before they discharge her. I'd also ask to clarify the med dosage, any special dietary needs/restrictions, exercise recommendations/restrictions, etc.
They'll probably want her to follow up with her regular doctor and a cardiologist within the next few days or weeks after discharge as well.
Hugs to you, I hope your mom gets to feeling better!
