can i get some for my mom?

she learned a few weeks ago that she has cholesterol blockages in both sides of her carotid artery, but friday learned they are MUCH worse than initially thought.

she's having surgery tomorrow morning to remove the blockage on the worse side and a few weeks later will have the other side done.

now this is surgery is much simpler than when she had her aorta reconstructed but my main concern is right now she's a stroke waiting to happen.

thanks.

Hope your Mom has such an easy time with hers!
