my dad got worse news
I posted previously (link) that my dad needed to have an angiogram and possibly stents put in.
Well, during the angiogram, they determined that he needs open heart surgery to correct 4 blockages affected each of his 3 major arteries. He needs to have the surgery ASAP - within the next week or so. We'll know more after he meets with the surgeon early next week.
This is just a shock to everyone. My dad has always eaten well, taken care of himself, exercises daily, and all but 1 of his heart / stress tests were fine.
He's SO INCREDIBLY LUCKY that they found this. A heart attack would have been so much worse.
If you've got any spare ones, lease  that his surgery goes well.

Thanks!
Yes, the wedding is August 11... but I've been assured he'll be there and dancing! He may not be 100%, but he should be in good shape by then.
My mom is terrified, but both of my parents seem to be dealing better today. Thanks for asking!
I'm holding up pretty well. Mild breakdown last night with FH and didn't sleep much... but feeling a lot calmer today. I guess that's a good sign!

Re: my dad got worse news
I know how you must be feeling. My mother had 3 of her arteries blocked as well and had open heart to fix them.
I wish you and your father the best.

Re: my dad got worse news
My father had this sugery 10 years ago when I was 16, he is now 62 and in FABULOUS shape.
My grandmother had the same sugery at 80 and did very well with it as well.
Everything will be fine

Re: my dad got worse news
I have been there- if you need to talk.
But these proceedures are so common- I'm sure he's in good hands, too.
for your family!
