Yesterday I drove her back to her house, and she stayed there overnight by herself and was not shaky in the morning. She feels that she's adapted to the blood pressure meds, and doesn't need 24x7 help. She was also given clearance to drive, so she doesn't need chauffeuring.

Since she's able to achieve this level of independence, this lets me resume my life for a little while, although I will still be regularly hauling back and forth on the turnpike.

To better deal with all the hauling back and forth, I didn't rely on the Cellar Car. As great as the Cellar Car is, it should not face this amount of mileage and/or be the only available vehicle in an emergency. So I have had two rentals which have really helped get the job done. Even if they are big American boats, they are quiet and new, and manage to make the trip down the pike a little easier.

Glad to hear things are a little calmer for now. Make sure you keep on looking after yourself, too, UT, so that you can continue to be the support for KatKeeper when she needs it.

More good news. I like that. :thumb:

Thannks for the upbeat update UT. :thumbsup:

Glad to hear Momz is doing better

Yes -- I realize, I have to pace myself for the recovery period.

Fabulous! :)

Hugs to both of you.

Good son! :)

She had some intestinal pain last night and so I will be staying there tonight and tomorrow night.

I don't know why I put this level of detail in here, except that it makes it somehow easier to share it with somebody.

J is the third-most affected in this situation as she is left alone in the house and it bothers her. Sometimes her own daughter is here for convenience sake (she works closer to here than where she lives).

You answered your own question UT.
It is easier to share. And because we love you and we know her (longer standing members probably know her better than I do).

We're interested. We worry too. Share away.

Sharing helps you, and it may help someone who goes through it in the future. Sharing is good.

Sharing helps. We're here for you and katkeeper.

Is she still going for surgery today? Good luck! We'll be thinking about you.

Thank you sir, and all
Right now she is undergoing the first step, a catheterization where they go in through a major artery in the groinal area and inject dye into the heart and aorta to do more imaging. I am in the hospital room waiting for the info from this procedure.
