I'm so sorry Janet, that must be really rough on your mom. The problem is she's in a Catch 22 (you are damed if you take the aspirin and may be damed if you don't) - her heart problems can cause blood clots which can go to the brain and cause a stroke or they can go to the lungs and may cause instant death. So, that is why the hospital doc ordered aspirin. On the other hand, the aspirin caused intestional bleeding which is not good, but not as bad as another stroke or lung blood clot. It's a real dilemma!
I'm so glad she's going to rehab - that's exactly where she needs to be!!!
