Listening to No Code has helped in the last 24 hrs

Last 24 hrs or so have been rough. My father had what we believe was a heart attack yesterday afternoon at my sister's house. Rushed him to the ER and they admitted him right away. Seeing him hooked up with all the tubes and shit really got to me. I may at times dislike my father but I do love him so very much. My sister's and I were with him until almost midnight last nite. Our mother has been in LA with her sister on vacation this past week. She called by chance last nite just to ask my older sister what size shirt her son wears. We then told her the news and she felt so helpless. Her flight has already left and she will be landing at 530pm tonight.
After coming home last nite I put No Code on the record player. Downed a couple beers and just sat in the dark and listened to my vinyl. It relaxed me and I'm sure the beer did as well. lol Found out this morning that they are keeping him over nite again. Heart and stress test are not complete yet. We just don't know yet and thats the part I hate. I got maybe 2-3 hrs of sleep last nite. So I may be rambling on here. But just had to get this out. Cause I know some of you understand what it's like to go threw this stuff.
Feel like I'm about to crash here. So I'll wake up later and go pick up my mom from the airport and back to the hospital. Keep sending the good vibes this way. It helps alot. Thank you

Sorry to hear about this :( I went through something similar with my Dad last year. It was tough, but ended up ok. Hope the best for yours.
And good choice, No Code is the album that has gotten me through so many difficult times.
Again, best of luck.

best of luck to you and your family, good thoughts coming your way! music can definitely help, it's helped get me thru many a difficult moment.0

damn, that is scary. my dad had a scare last year with a blood clot, luckily it turned out okay. good vibes to you and your family!0

Very sorry to hear about your dad Patrick. My mom had a heart attack last August. Scariest fucking thing I've ever been through.
My thoughts are with you and your family.
I'm happy to say my mom has made a full recovery and is doing very well. They are treating the blockage with medicine and luckily, did not have to do any invasive surgery.
I hope you'll be able to pass that same message on to us about your dad in the near future.
Again, my thoughts are with you.Don't come closer or I'll have to go0 -
Positive thoughts your way, man. I know how you feel. My dad has had two heart attacks, a stroke and quadruple bypass surgery.
It was rough to see him in the hospital like that but he was lucky to have survived and it forced a lifestyle change (lose weight, exercise, etc.). He is much better for it now.
Hope all is well.DAL-7/5/98,10/17/00,6/9/03,11/15/13

I can absolutely relate dude.
I was there at the hospital the day my mother had aortic valve replacement which included quadruple by-pass 5 years ago. I too had to watch her hooked up to the feeding tubes, etc. It is such a scary site and really puts things into perspective if you know what I mean.
I can tell you this though-your presence there with him (regardless of his state) makes all the difference in the world. Hang in there and take care of yourself brother. Music was kind to me during those times as well.
I will keep your entire family in my thoughts and prayers.Empty pockets will allow a greater sense of wealth.
Why contain yourself like any other book on the shelf?
Subtle voices in the wind hear the truth they're telling.
A world begins where the road ends.
