So, mom's appointment with the cardiologist didn't go....exactly quite as well as we hoped it would. In addition to the liver failure, which we knew

about, and the partial heart failure, which we suspected, she also has lung failure.

in a round about way, the liver failure is causing the lung failure which is causing the heart failure.

(at one point, though, when this was being explained to me, i had to keep saying "shut up brain!" when i kept thinking about the doctor's prognosis of Mr. Burns:
- You mean I have pneumonia?
-yes.
-juvenile diabetes?
-Yes.
--Hysterical pregnancy?!
- little bit, yes.

)

but sweet fancy moses, I just about blacked out when my sister was explaining to me the heart catheterization procedure that mom has to have in a few weeks.
