fear and defibrillation

[persephone828]

My Dad's alright, but he had a heart attack. In Las Vegas, of all places. They placed a stint in his heart to keep his ticker working and he may need another. He's going to be in the hospital for a few days but should be just fine. He told my Mom that he'd been feeling bad for months and all at once, at a business dinner, he felt a painful weight settle on his chest. He went back to his hotel and when it didn't improve, he called the paramedics and got safely to the hospital.

Please keep him in your thoughts, hopefully his recovery will be quick and relatively painless.
