Last weekend over the holiday weekend, mom had an episode of pretty good swelling in both her ankles(not overly swollen but enough), the right one broke open on the skin with a tiny hole and started seeping clear fluid. I took her to the doctor Tuesday last week when the doctor opened her office after the holiday. Dr. said could be cardio or vascular issue, but she wasn't sure what the hell was causing it. So I asked if one of mom's 4 blood pressure meds she's taking could be causing her feet and ankles to swell and so she checked that and lowered one of them that could and has her taking it at night instead of day time. I then this week on Monday called my mom's vascular surgeon's nurse to talk to her about what happened and for her to talk to the doc to see what we should do or if he wanted to see her. The nurse called me back and said YES he wants to see her and he didn't know what happened to cause it and also wanted me to make an appointment to take her in to see her cardiologist as well. SO, I did. Taking mom to see vascular surgeon on Sept. 22 for checkup and to see her cardiologist on Sept. 28 for check up as well and to discuss what's happened. It hasn't happened again but that doesn't mean anything. Her feet and ankles swell everyday but something caused more swelling that usual and something caused the skin to tear open a tiny hole in her leg and leak fluid. So, I hope it's just from her medicine and maybe one of them will change it and that it's not a blockage somewhere in her leg (which she's already had 3 surgeries done on her artery for blockages) or a blockage around her heart(which they found one late last year where her 30 yr old heart bypass graff had collapsed and so they put a new stint in it. She's had 2 bypasses on her heart done 30yrs ago, I just hope it's not another one gone bad). I'm worried but I can't tell my mom that, she'll freak out. She knows I called her dr's about what happened and said she'd go in. Now my younger sis is worried too and is glad I'm taking her in to check about it.
Let's hope and pray for the best result. Thanks for listening.
