ltdiver 3 #1 September 16, 2003 I rarely post about personal things, however I got a phone call tonight that my dad was hospitalized today with a heart attack. He became very sick this morning with chest pain and severe nausea. My parents live in Washington, and I'm sitting by the phone in California. Right now he says to just sit tight, tests are being run while they try and figure out what's going on. It's scarey. My grandmother died of a heart attack at 74 and my grandfather of a stroke at 88. Please pray for my dad, as he has always been there for us...in every way....a model father who this family has been very lucky to have. Thanks, Lori Don't tell me the sky's the limit when there are footprints on the moon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vonSanta 0 #10 September 16, 2003 ltdiver, my father recently suffered the same (he's only 59). He had two stints inserted into his veins and is taking lots of blood pressure lowering meds. Heart surgery has come a *long* way in the last 10 years. It's much less intrusive so your father has a good chance of a speedy recovery. My father had his surgery 4 months ago and he is back working after a month and is now enjoying a vacation in France. My thoughts are with you and your father.
