Matt, Dad and I visited Mum this afternoon and found her chirpy and sparky.
Then about half way through the visit, she complained of feeling hot, and then had what looked like a panic attack. The doctor was just on her rounds and saw Mum, and checked her over and said that her heart rate, blood oxygen level, blood sugar level and blood pressure were all fine, so it was nothing to do with her heart condition.
The doctor decided to remove the temporary wire, as it hadn't been needed and may cause infection, and told the ward staff to keep an eye on Mum in case she had another panic attack.
Dad stayed with Mum while they removed the wire, and he said she was fine, laughing and joking with the doctor and nurses as the wire came out.
Mum was much brighter when we left and Dad has just phoned the ward to hear she's still fine, eating her supper and doing a crossword.
We're trying to work out what the cause of her panic attack was, as it wasn't related to her heart condition. Not sure whether it was drinking several cups of strong coffee (which she asked Dad to bring her from home, and seemed to enjoy), hearing about Wednesday when she couldn't remember anything - or what.
But fingers crossed she doesn't have another one.
Matt and I are going to visit her tomorrow afternoon, and as Dad has to work tomorrow he'll go in tomorrow evening.
Next update after our visit.
