Stent

Today/Tomorrow my mother is getting a stent put in, which is a wire tube put in to keep the artery open after an angioplasty. Our family being the conversationalists that they are are keeping this a secret form one another. It's only by phoning people directly that we find out what's happening, my mom doesn't want to tell anyone that it's going on.
I've just been informed that this is just suspected, there is no absolute certainty about this as the doctor has not got back in touch with my mother yet. Sheesh! This is compounded by the fact that I'm in New York this week, and they are in Cork, Ireland.
