I meant to share this last week, but I didn’t have the chance to do so.
So my Mom had her second of two appointments this past Friday, and it was with our primary care doctor.
Our doctor isn’t 100% convinced her hiatal hernia is causing her problems. However, he agrees that it’s time to get it taken care of. For one, a hiatal hernia needs to be taken care of, and two, it’ll give us more answers. If it’s causing the issue, then we’ll know and it’ll be repaired. If it’s not causing the issue, then it’s a process of elimination (and it'll still be repaired).
So my younger sister is going to make the appointment with her surgeon this week (as she’s Mom’s usual mode of transportation), if she hasn’t already. The next step is to schedule the surgery, and then schedule the stress test for closer to the date.
We’ll all be glad when this is behind us. Personally, I don’t like that my Mom has to get surgery. But it’s the only way to repair a hernia so there’s not really a choice in the matter at this point.
Sooo, please keep up in your thoughts and prayers, or send good vibes? Thank you. <3

I hope she gets better soon and sometimes there is no cure other than the treatment

Thank you so much. The surgeon isn't 100% sure the hernia is causing her constant nausea, but she's still having the hernia repaired. I'll post more about that this week. And then we'll try to figure out what's causing her nausea. Whatever it is, it's possible the hernia is irritating it.

At least your PCP is on board with the idea it needs to be repaired and can't wait.
