after/past... since

Post by PinkLady »

Are these sentences grammatical?


a) "Sadly, my mother's condition has worsened, as it was expected after some years since she had started undergoing dyalisis, and it's now more difficult for her walk."


b) "Sadly, my mother's condition has worsened, as it was expected past some years since she had started undergoing dyalisis, and it's now more difficult for her walk."
