All my warmest and most (((((((((((((((((((((((Positive Vibes)))))))))))))))))))))))))) for your mother Jak!!!!

I can imagine your problem though. My father is a retired Eye Surgeon, a doctor, and your mother, being an educated nurse... Pheww...Here in Sweden they say that educated health "personnel" are the most difficult to treat, because they are so knowledgeable and darn stubborn about their own health. " They know what they know"!!!!! And that certainly goes with my father.....Thankfully I am his daughter, and firstborn, and I think at least that he listens to me most of the time, when it comes to his health. He also has a heart condition. I am also thankful for his wife that is also a nurse, and she is very straightforward ( more than me, if you can believe it, lol) and does not mince her words, about his health to him. 

I will be thinking of you and your mother and light a candle for her recovery.
