    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 :)
    my thoughts are with you and your family patrick.

    peace,

    So I throw the windows wide
    And call to you across the sky....

    Thank you to everyone for all the positive messages and support. :)

    My dad seemed better last nite when my mom arrived at the hospital. I left them alone for a little bit and went down to the cafeteria.

    So far things are ok but that could change once we know the results of his heart and stress test. They have to do part 2 of the stress test this morning. They will then determine if they need to keep him longer and possibility then surgery around the heart if he has major blockage.

    I've got very little sleep last 2 days but was able to relax a bit more knowing that my mom is back. Right away when we arrived she got his nurse and asked all the questions us kids didn't. :) She's in the medical field also but also knows all of my father's past medical history better then we do. Which I would tell all of you to find out that stuff about your folks. Have it written down for times like this. Luckily my dad carries a card with all the meds he is taking. But we didn't know some answers to some questions we were asked when they were admitting him.

    I was in a daze yesterday when I posted this about what was going on. As I said I had to get it out. The support from here and threw phone calls and texts has helped. I thank you all very much. If I've missed your call I will get back to you soon. I will keep in touch and let you know how things are going.

    That’s some good advice Patrick. I’m glad your mom was able to make it back to make everyone feel a little better.

    Get some rest. We’re all sending good thoughts your way.

    I too know where you are and where you have to go. My Dad had a quintuple by-pass just after the 2002 winter Olympics, which were a high point for me and my family, getting to go to some events together and really enjoying every part of a family that we all too often forget about. It was an amazing roller coaster ride. Since then my pa has had a few mini strokes and lost the sight in his right eye and hearing in his right ear. Now we find out that he has 60% blockage of his carotid artery and it will be needing rooted out this spring.

    This, along with a malady of medical problems through-out my family, have left me with the certainty that I have been very lucky to have the family that worries me so much! Take the time to reflect as your dad gets on the mend and remember the good and great times in life that were possible because of him. And dont forget to tell him thanks too. All the bad shit that might come to the surface is just that: shit, and just flush it away.

    Peace

    Dave
