allright, so tonight was kinda odd, well actually the past few nights have been.

so yeah, my dad goes in for this routine thing with his heart where they just stick a balloon in the artery in his heart that has blockage, and then put radioactive pellets in to get rid of the scar tissue that has developed since his minor surgury back in february. so they go to do this, and they take the chest xrays and everything, and it turns out that three of the arteries that supply oxygen to his heart is 99% blocked. this is up from 60% back in february. this of course, is very bad. i suppose that’s its lucky that this was discovered before he actually had a serious heart attack though.

but yeah, so basically they told him last night that he was going to be going in for open heart surgury today, so needless to say he was a bit distressed. but he went in early this morning, and it ended up getting cancelled, but then rescheduled for today again. he ended up going in around 3 and came out around 8. everything went fine though, he didn’t even need to be on a resperator when he came out of surgury, which i was told is very impressive, and he’s expected to be back at home by sunday, which is impressive, considering he just had a quadruple bypass…

so yeah, i’ve been pretty worried for the past couple of days…all good now though, he pulled through, and the next few months are probably going to be fairly rough for him, but the worst is over now….god, what would have happened if the surgury failed? i don’t even want to think of it…
