I'll be back

My dad has been in the hospital all week. I had to call 911 at 1am a few days ago, his heart rate was way too high and his blood pressure was about double what it should be.

After a stress test, the doctors say he has had a mild heart attack but they don't know when, and one of his main arteries was 80% blocked. They did an angiogram and inserted a stent, but his heart is still very irregular and rather fast. He is 84 yrs old and a bit frail, so I don't know if bypass surgery is an option, or if he needs it. I only hope and pray he will be ok.

	annier: 10/23/2009 11:25 AM It must be over a year since you were last talking about him being in hospital and not very well - so he recovered then and hopefully will again!
