Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMom is having another surgery on Friday.
She has blockage in her left leg close to 100%. The doctor will go through her artery through her groin so they can cut and suction her clogs out. They will not have to cut her leg open which I am very happy about. She had carotid artery surgery last Wed. and a another in march.
Her leg has turned purple at times and hurts all the time. She is thrilled this is going to get done. They said she is only getting 30% of her normal blood flow to her foot. The other leg she is getting 70% blood flow so that can wait.
I am glad it is getting done but when it rains it pours.
Keep her in your thoughts and prayers please.

... though they've never hurt or been sore before, during or after... just the THOUGHT of a
procedure "through the groin" gives me a case of the hyper-cringes.

They can do some pretty amazing things with that avenue of approach.

Major vibes coming for your mom and everyone involved.
