Called her today...they did an echocardiogram and an ultrasound of the carotids. Her cardio's partner came in today and had her stand...he stood behind her, massaged her neck at her carotids, and she just about passed out...he caught her. They laid her back down and she said she had tremors for about 20 min after...
the doc said she has "sensitive carotids" and she can't have anything near her neck..no jewelry, scarves, collars, etc. She joked with me she told FIL no more necking
Not sure if that adds up, since her problem came on gradually yesterday. The Pcp is going to check on her incontinence...she's in for another night. I still think she doesn't drink enough due to her fear of leaking...she tells me all the time "I drink a lot of water..." but since her mind is going, I can't believe her

On the bright side, she looked a lot better today when I dropped FIL off.

Thanks for prayers...we need 'em...
