Sandy, your Mom will be in my prayers. Hopefully the angiogram will show

that a Angioplasty is all that will be needed. ....Flora

My sweet 81 year old mother has been having a lot of shortness of breath,

dizziness, and a little tightness in her chest. She went 2 weeks ago for a

stress test.

We went today for the results. He said that she has a possible blockage, next

Tuesday we take her in for an Angiogram to run Dye through her veins, if its not

serious they will do an Angioplasty at that time. If it is not looking good they

will have to do open heart surgery.We asked because of her age if that is what

needs to be done if she should have open heart surgery, and he said that with

the symptoms that she has he would recommend it.

My wonderful father had open heart surgery 5 years ago had gotten to go home

and got pnemonia, while in the intensive care unit he passed away.

I am asking if you could PLEASE say a prayer for my Dear Mom. This scares the

heck out of me. Love to all, Sandy

Sandy,

May the good Lord be with her every second, minute and hour and may He grant her

the desires of her heart. Let's trust Him for a good report. Take care, I'll

be praying.

God Bless

Sandy, I'm so happy to hear the good news about your Mom, I feel the same way

about my Mom, we are best friends.....Love, Jeannie/N.J.

My Mom

I would like to thank everyone for all of the wonderful thoughts and prayers

for my beautiful Mom.

For once there is good news.

She went in today for her Angiogram and came out with fantastic news. There

was no blockage detected.

Now we are just going to have to go threw the process of elimination ( which

we all know about) to find out why she is so short of breath and dizzy all the

time.

Once again Thank you for being there for me threw this, it was a very

stressful and tireing day, but well worth it.

I just hate the thought of looseing her, I know it will happen one day, but I

hope and pray not for awhile, because she is my buddy. Love to all, Sandy

God is good, isn't He? I'll continue to pray for her complete recovery. I

rejoice with you. Take care.

God Bless

Hello! I received several messages from some of you welcoming me to

the group and asking about my mom. She is from Pineville, Louisiana

and I am from Marksville, Louisiana (about 45 min. from her). She

was diagnosed 2 years ago with PLS after showing symptoms for about 1

and a half years. I won't rehash the last three years but I will try

to sum up what I can about her condition now. She will be 54 at the

end of this month. As of now she uses a walker because the dr. wants

her to get as much exercise and movement as possible or she would be

in a wheelchair. She can barely pick up her feet to walk - she more

or less has to drag them. She is right handed so naturally that would

be the one that she can barely use anymore. She cannot get herself to

a standing position or get out or into a chair by herself. She's been

through so much that it is hard to remember and write it down so it

is coherent. So please excuse me if I don't make alot of sense.

Besides the PLS she also has high blood pressure, some kind of vein

disease in her legs, and several metal plates in one of her ankles

from years ago when she broke it. Her feet and legs are so swollen

that if she props her leg or foot against something and forgets about

it, a big dent will be left.

She (by the way her name is Jan) is on I believe 9 different

medicines if not more and sees about 6 different doctors. It is

incredibly hard to keep up with. Just when one medicine starts to

work, another will cause a side effect and she will have to change

the meds that were working and so on. Does anybody else have this

problem?

I am sorry if I am rambling. I have absolutely nobody to talk to

about this and I am seeming to unload all at once. Please excuse me.

My dad is ANGRY!! at the world because she is sick and he is

impossible to talk to about it. He really needs to talk to someone

but he won't. He is making my mom miserable.

The doctor's told her that she has anywhere from 3 to 10 years to

live and I hate that they do that. Why put a time limit? What is

their reason for that?

Anyway, I have more I could say but I'll give it a rest for tonight.

Thanks everybody for listening.

Hi :

Your mom and you really have a lot on your plate and to deal with and I am

sorry. Am also sorry that you don't seem to have the support of your Dad

but I have heard that some people have a hard time dealing with a loved

one's illness and I truly hope he comes around soon so that you won't have

the whole burden on your shoulders.

We are here for you anytime you need us and would love to hear from your

Mom also.

Take care of yourself and give your Mom my best.
