Was in Charleston Sunday, visiting wife's relatives; when I got a frantic call from my mother that my Father was having a heart-attack. Flew 110 miles home to be with my dad. Turns out he needed to have angio-plasty done to open a total blockage in one of his vessels. Bad hing is he has several other blockages that angio-plasty can't fix. So as soon as he is strong enough he has to have open-heart surgery. He is only 60 and in better shape than me.

 

Damn... Best of luck John.

 

wishin your familia and your pops the best of luck!

 

Good luck.



My uncle had a quad bypass last year. I'm not sure how that relates, but he is doing great..

 

Damn, I hope he pulls through!

 

Ouch!



I worked in a cath lab for quite some time, it's stunning what they can do these days.

 

thanks

 

2 good things here.



1. he is only 60 so he will bounce back fast.



2. He is in good shape. That will go a long way in recovery too. I bet you'll hear that from the docs too.



Prayers and Thoughts.

I agree, they can do amazing things, my grandfather had quad bypass surgery, he died later, the surgery extended his life by 7 yrs, he did not die from a heart attack, but from a broken heart, my grandmother had died a year earlier. Best of luck bud, he will pull through fine
