Oh, I hope so, too. I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I'm so sorry your mother

has it. I honestly think mine is from too much anesthesia. The electrical system

of my heart does not work correctly. I have had 5 procedures on my

heart...one of them was 12 hours long...the others were between 5 and 8 hours.

All of

them occurred within a 4 year period. That is a tremendous amount of

anesthesia...I was asleep for the procedures.

This is just my theory but I truly believe it.
