Dad is having a heart stent put in tomorrow. Hopefully it goes well. He thinks he’s going to die.
No stent for dad. He’s got to see a CT surgeon for a consult for bypass or open heart surgery. Lots of disease in his heart apparently. They think the heartburn he’s been complaining about for years is actually angina.
Oh no :/ Heart surgery does feel scary, poor guy :( Hoping he gets an A+ team (that helps him feel less like he’s going to die!) @annamuneca
Oh, that’s good, then that’s just around the corner. Hopefully he can go as easy as possible until then? @annamuneca
@Armchaircouch He’s retired, can’t walk and can’t drive so he doesn’t have many options except to take it easy 🙂 more worried about getting respite for mom having to take care of him.
@Armchaircouch so far sounds like the surgeon is one who both of my sister-in-laws have experience with and great level-headed care with great bedside manner 💗 probably no surgery until January.
