Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsMy Mom, 85, is in hospital, second time this month
First admission, this month, was for severe fatigue, due to anemia likely from her CHF. (I live in another state, so everything I hear is 3rd hand) 3 bags of blood, chest x-ray, labs, fluids.
Wednesdays admit found a bleeding ulcer and a kidney lesion. She had a UGI, scope(?)& a nasal gastric tube placed. I know there was a surgical consult, no more info on that yet. I know she is feeling better this afternoon, she has been fussing, via text to us.
Mom is 85, realistically, her life clock is ticking.
But I admit I feel better since she told me I was nosey a little while ago.

Smoking around kids was so common in the past, now, not so much, which is good.
Thanks MFM008

Glad she sounded perkier to you on the phone!
Best of luck to all of you.
