I'll make it short.  I haven't been here much lately.  My mom had hip surgery in September, and with my sister taking her job at the post office, I've had a lot more responsibility at work.  Thing were about to go back to normal this upcoming week.  Well, yesterday life threw us all a new wrinkle.  My dad went for a routine angio. He decided to get it checked out, since he's had shortness of breath for a few years now.  He had no chest pain, and despite being overweight, he was in reasonably good health, strong and still working pretty much every day.  Well, the blockages that were found were far more severe than any of us were expecting.  He goes in within the next 10 days for 4-5 CABG surgery.  The next 3-4 months are going to be intense for me.  I apologize in advance for what will be regular absences even worse than those that have been happening over the last month and a half. 

Thank you for your understanding.

Take care of your family and yourself first, we are merely strangers on the internet.  Hope everything goes very well for your mom and dad.

Sorry to hear this.  Good luck.

What SirJohn said.  Good luck.

Sweet. Now I can go delete all of my posts without getting banned.

Wrong forum?

We're still waiting on the appointment.  There's no wait list, but for some reason, the doctor hasn't sent the required info.  I think it must be sitting on someone's desk.  It was supposed to get straightened out today, so hopefully we hear something soon.

Good luck JMT, I hope everything works out.

Everything apparently went well.  He had a quadruple bypass, and there were no complications.
