Ok, talked to Dancin at 5 am, and then again just a few minutes ago. Her surgery is scheduled for 7:30 in the morning. She's gonna have her daughter call me after the surgery. She's feeling much better about it than she was. She's being well cared for, so that has eased some anxiety. She's had a few days to wrap her head around it. She did find out that it would be open heart where they crack her sternum, so a much longer recovery time. Of course she's worried about them having just moved into the more expensive apt and her being off work for probably at least two months, but I told her not to worry about that. Hopefully she can at least get some temporary unemployment and other stuff to help. her bed is real low to the floor so her son is getting that fixed up for her and getting some other aids for the shower, potty etc so that will be a huge help. None of her grandkids are itty bitty so they should be able to help her some as well. Told her once she's home to have a pouch for her cell phone to wear around her neck or have in pocket or something, she's not to be anywhere without that phone just in case.
She did watch some movies of folks that have the same procedure, and it helped a lot them telling her what to expect. Her imagination was likely worse than reality. She really appreciates everyone's prayers and concern, it means so much to her.
