Going for Surgery ...

Shortly after my last post, I got a call from my sis about my Dad. The doctor said it was much worse than he thought it would be. All 3 arteries are 99% clogged and they were arranging for him to be transported to Albany for open heart surgery.

I spent the whole evening at the hospital. The kids went with their Dad as thankfully he got home from his trip today. I fed my Dad his dinner as he couldn't sit up or move at all for 4 hours after the test today. Then I went and bought him new pjs, t-shirts and socks to bring with him. I stayed with him while my sis and mom went to get a bit to eat. G came up and sat with me. He was awesome as usual. At 9:00 they brought my Dad by ambulance and we all went home for the night. Mom and Sis are leaving at 5 a.m. to go and be there with him for the surgery.

I'll go to work and take care of all of the dogs. I'm so not good with these situations. I just clam all up and get real "hard" on the exterior. Inside it's kind of like I'm pretending it's not real or not as bad as I know it really is.

I appreciate all of your prayers and positive thoughts. This is just all very surreal to me. I'll keep you all updated.

I'm so sorry to her about your dad's health trouble.The folks I know who have had it come out healthier than they were when they went in. Physical Therapy helps too, but he won't get that for a few months. I will hold all of you in my thoughts and prayers. When my mom was really sick, I would stoically move through the days, and when I had a half hour to myself I would sob relentlessly. My nephew didn't cry until it was all over, and cried for hours. People handle this stuff whatever way works for them. You're gonna be fine. Hugs, Stephy
