My dad had a heart attack at 3:30 this morning.

The cardiologist said that, as far as these things go, it wasn't too bad. It was still a heart attack. He had an angioplasty and they put things in his chest, I can't remember what they're called, to hold open the artery that was clogged. He has to stay in ICU for two to three days.

I have to go into hysterics in the shower and scrub until the smell of hospital goes away.

Mood::

cold

I am so sorry. That must be really hard, especially this close to the holidays. Luckily, the doctor says he'll be ok, and thats probably true. You have my best wishes. Let us know if there is anything we can do.

Thank you so much :)

Oh, baby love, this is not what I wanted to read when I looked at my flist. I am so very, very sorry. But it sounds like he'll be OK, and maybe you should consider it a gift that he got this non-fatal wake-up call. I know that sounds callus, but I recently lost a coworker and friend to a heart attack, and she was only 60.

I know that this will make this Christmas different from any other you've experienced, but I pray you will still find the joy and peace in it, and that your Dad will be just fine and back in his home and among his family very soon.

Thank you so, so much, love ::hugs::

Hold on to the thought that he'll be okay - you got him to hospital in time and he's getting the right treatment.

::hugs you some more::

Thank you, darling :)

I wish you and your family all the best - and your dad quick recovery! *hugs*

I know how scary this can be, but take comfort in knowing his prognosis seems good and he's being well cared for.

Sending hugs and prayers for you and your family.

Thank you :) And it truly cheered me up to see your lovely comments on the recent fic today.

Hysterics (after the fact) sounds like a perfectly reasonable response to the situation to me.

***hugs***

The timing truly, deeply sucks, but like everybody else said, they caught it in time, and it sounds like he'll be out of the hospital and back in action really quickly, which is a very good sign.

Thank you again. And yeah, it was as good a result as we could have hoped, under the circumstances

I've been stuck out of town away from my computer, but I was glad to read he's going to recover (with a change of diet - guess everyone'll learn to like their Christmas Morning Bran Flakes instead!). I worry about my own dad, as he's in his mid-50s and has eaten HORRIBLY for years now. I keep expecting something to happen any day, but if it does I hope it goes as well as your dad's seems to be from what I read in your later post.

Thank you, darling :) I'm certainly going to be CONSTANTLY worrying now...

*hugs* I hope he's ok and gets better soon.

I don't know if this is happening to you, but when my dad went into hospital to have a fairly major operation, people kept ringing us, and it was exhausting and draining to say the same thing over and over and over... So I did what my uncle suggested, and set up an email bulletin which I sent to anyone who asked for it. It's much easier for everyone concerned. (Especially since there are now 60 or so people on it.) Just a thought.

*hugs again*

Oh, we've definitely covered the phone calls all over the country thing. But that is a great suggestion, and thank you!
