Upcoming ablation - and it's not for me

I forgot to mention. My mom's atrial fibrillation is so bad and for some reason the medication is not working anymore. Her cardiologist thinks it's time she needs an ablation to try and correct the problem. The problem has been that specialists say she's too young, and want to continue medications.

With some discussions with her long-term cardiologist, and about seven episodes in five days, he agreed to try the ablation. She gets back from San Diego tomorrow night, and the ablation should be scheduled next week. She sounded nervous when she was telling me that she's going to have it done. It will be done in hospital, under general anesthesia, and may have to stay overnight.

I had three ablations on my trigeminal nerve in an attempt to stop my atypical pain. If I remember how mine were done, it was done using radiofrequency (like how they'll do my mother's). The first was the most painful because of how the entry is done (I couldn't open my mouth for days).

My mom said that I don't have to be there for her. But she was there for my first two, and I feel like I should be there if I possibly can.
