Yeah, I don't eat as many fatty foods any more. Also, since I have my daughter now, I try hard to eat a lot more fruits and vegetables. I'm pretty sure this could be what caused me to become so sick. Plus, pizza has a lot of salt on it.
My mom's surgery went fine. As I mentioned in a previous comment, it turned out the artery was not as blocked as they thought. Originally, they thought it was a 60% blockage, but found only 30-40% once they went in. They decided to leave the stint out, so she was able to go home this afternoon, once the anesthetic wore off. Good news, but she still has some blood pressure issues that I hope they can regulate.
I'm sure you are right. They keep things from me so that I won't worry. But, when I find out, I still worry ... and I also feel bad because they didn't tell me. I've tried to explain this to them, but it has no impact.
One great thing to come out of it, though, was that I managed to get in two really long, good (as in fun) phone calls with my brother. So, that's a definite silver lining. ^.^
