UPDATED -Gran's in surgery right now, can I have some vibes please?

Voldemort, 24 March, 2009 at 16:44 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 13

My mum's just called me to tell me my 82 year old Grandma is in surgery for an aortic aneurysm in her back. She's had a really bad back for a few months now and just this week saw her GP who prescribed tramadol as the other stuff wasn't touching it for her. Everyone thought it was her arthritis causing the pain until this afternoon when my deaf Grandad found her collapsed in the bedroom and called 999.

If he'd not called an ambulance she might not still be here ?

Any vibes would be much appreciated, she's really poorly ☹️

Update----

She's out of recovery and in intensive care but is fully conscious and asked for a cup of tea ?

The aneurysm had ruptured but clotted immediately thank god, they've repaired it and are expecting her to make a full recovery. I'm soooooooooooo relieved ?

Hitched vibes rock ?

    It's been over 3 hours and I've not heard anything ? Does anyone know how long it takes to operate on an AAA?

    I've been googling <slaps own hands> and it seems she's had a few of the symptoms for a while, one of which is very obvious. She's had these patches on her legs that bleed really easily and they seem to be 'Erydema Nodosum '. She smoked like a chimney for years, is being treated for high blood pressure and has complained of back pain for at least a year.

    Thanks for all the vibes, means a lot x

    Big hugs. I hope she makes a full and fast recovery. At least any problems she's had have now been picked up. Don't be tough on yourself about not picking up symptoms - the gift of hindsight is a wonderful thing.

    Thinking of your gran x
