Mom won’t go to the ER 😐

My mom had a hysterectomy a month ago and has been having light bleeding on and off since. Today though, she’s been having heavy bleeding, enough to soak a pad and cramping. She called the hospital and spoke to a nurse who advised her to go to the emergency room. I told her to get in the car and let’s go, but she keeps saying “I’m scared” and “I don’t want to see anything yucky in the emergency room!” I asked her “would you rather see something ‘yucky’ at the hospital and get help, or die at home?” And she said “I don’t know”

What do I do? Her temperature is 98.5 under the armpit (so do we add one? Or is that a myth?)
