Praying for your mother! I am glad she has pulled through okay

I worry about my mother who has chronic high blood pressure

and is in her 70's now

Hang in there Lorraine!!!!!

Thanks everyone. The hugs/prayers keep getting bigger!

Just got word she is coming home today. The grandkids cleaned her house and carpets yesterday. One of my sisters is bringing her home today. I have stayover night duty tonight.

Woody, my mom is 78 and has had high blood pressure and arithmia (sp?) problems as long as I can remember. She is also prone to falls, so the blood thinners that will help prevent another stroke are also a risk for her. All I can say to anyone in this situation, is to have a plan. I just assumed my sisters and dad knew everything. Do you know what meds she takes, dosage, etc? Make a list and update it regularly. Also have a medical history ready.

Got to get back to work.

Oh, and my darn check valve failed again. Anyone know a good one? I use one between my topoff reservoir and my kalk reactor. It trashes the pump too when it fails, so I don't mind paying more for a good one. I think the last one I used was made by Hagen. Got to pick this up today, so any help is greatly appreciated.
