And the doctors are not hopeful.
Got a call at 3 in the morning that they were wheeling my mom, whom is about 2000km away, into emergency surgery. Apparently she had knee surgery 8 days ago and the number one rule for post op care is watch for infection especially since she's diabetic. Guess what she refused to go. Finally last night she passed out and my dad called for an ambulance. When the ER cut open her pants there were red streaks running from her knee all the way up and down her leg.
The doctors going to attempt to remove the source of the infection while at the same time replacing as much blood as possible with fresh blood.
The doctors are not hopeful and saying her chances are slim.

Shit, I'm so sorry to hear that dragon. I really hope she pulls through and learns from the experience. All the best to you both

Best of luck to her, Dragon. I hope she'll be ok.
You will be assimilated...bunghole!
Re: mom might die from being to stubborn
well she's out of surgery and they immediately put her into a medically induced coma, she's not breathing on her own so they have her intubated.

Why is it so goddamned hard to get little assholes like you to admit it when you fuck up? Is it pride? What gives you the right to have any pride?

Best wishes to you and her. We're here if you need us.

Re: mom might die from being to stubborn
My condolences. May she fully recover from this emergency.
Please do not make Americans fight giant monsters.
Those gun nuts do not understand the meaning of "overkill," and will simply use weapon after weapon of mass destruction (WMD) until the monster is dead, or until they run out of weapons.
They have more WMD than there are monsters for us to fight. (More insanity here.)

Hope that stubbornness is also an asset in her recovery.

Sorry man. So she went septic, the antibiotics I'm sure they're pumping through her should do the trick as long as not to much damage was done to vital organs prior. I wish you well and hope for the best.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong
