Mom has in her living will that she doesn't want any more surgeries. She is not considering this a surgery because her heart rate is so low, we know that it will give her some quality of life but not necessarily quantity. But she also has carotid Doppler studies scheduled for next week. So today I had to talk to her that by having this test done next week, it may give her info that she may have to be asked to act on. If she does have considerable blockage, she may be asked to have surgery or stent. So does she want to have to test done. It's tough getting old. Especially when your brain is alert. I am her Power of attorney for health care.
