Not sure if you are asking about my Mom or asking about Karen (Serenity's) Mom but I'll give you an update since my Mom had major surgery last Tuesday and was in ICU for 3 days. She had a bowel resection and biopsy of some suspicious matter which we are still waiting to hear the results on that. She is a smoker and has emphysema so general anesthesia is a big deal for her and that is why she was in ICU. She came home today. They just started her on clear liquids Sunday for dinner. I am a little surprised they send her home already. My sister is taking the week off from work to help her out. She still needs assistance to get out of bed. She has a big vertical incision which is painful when she tries to get up from the bed. But I guess it's good she is going home as I think she will move around more. But secretly, I think she is dying to get out of the hospital so she can have a cigarette! I know she will send my sister on a errand so she can one. She thinks we don't know she sneaks them, but you can tell from the smoke smell that she is always trying to hide with candles and air freshners, etc. We don't let on that we know she is smoking as she would just be more open and smoke more!
Thanks for asking.
