Life is SO freaking crazy sometimes! Just when it's all smooth sailing, a curve ball whacks you in the face.
My dad has had a heart attack. He's going to have a heart cath tomorrow (takes pictures of the heart and vessels) and possibly angioplasty if they find blockages. My dad! This is something I would expect of someone with bad health like oh, say... my mom or me. I'm a freaking time bomb, I know. But he's lived 83 years and stayed in good shape and ate right. Ugh.. I almost laughed at the doctor when he said that MY dad had had a heart attack. I just knew he couldn't be serious. The reason we took him into the emergency room at all was because he looked (and acted) severly dehydrated. he never complained of arm pain or chest pain. My mom is a heart nazi. If we mention that we have indigestion her first question is : "Does your left arm heart?" But yet, we never knew.
Keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you!
