I took Grandma and my sister to the casino today so that Mom & Dad could have some time alone. We went to the casino that gives you a free dinner after you spend 2 hours there. About an hour into our visit there, husband calls. My Mom had called him but she didn't want husband to call me until much later. husband, being a very smart man, ignored my Mom and called me.
Seems while Dad was was using the weedeater, he started to have pains in his chest. And what does he do? He continues weedeating. After about 15 minutes, when the pain wasn't going away, he decided to tell my Mom to drive him to the doctors. As she's getting him into the car, he changes his mind and has her call 911.
There was a blockage in a main artery, but the blockage wasn't a complete blockage so he never lost total blood flow. That is good. So they don't think he damaged his heart. They did put a stint into his heart and are keeping him over night, with a possible 2nd night, to see things go.
At least Dad is his normal self. He was being a smart- while I there visiting. My Grandpa argued with his doctor that he never had a heart-attack that he just had heart-burn, even after the doctor proved it. So, I walk in and Dad starts giving me crud about all this fuss over simple heart-burn. Men!! At least he's still alive and for the most part well. It's a great day to be alive!! And Dad better stay that way for a long, long, long, long time!! I still need my daddy!!!
Thanks for letting me share.
