my mom had a right colectomy on Jan 6th, 3 weeks later she caught the stomach virus, she was hospitalized for 9 days she still isn t getting her strength back. I think that is normal after all she has gone through but she doesn t. Do you think she should be getting stronger. She is 79 had a triple by-pass 17 yrs ago and has had stints put in 4 times. she also has a pace maker. due to the weather here I can t really get her out to see her Dr. right now.
