Thanks bunches and bunches, Serena, for your posts and call!
My father will have a cath for "pictures" on Friday morning and then they will do whatever is necessary. Hard to tell right now what is going to happen.
His symptoms were flu-like and not at all specific. DH was on his toes and told my parents to get to their ER ASAP! He had sudden and complete energy loss with throat pain, just below the Adam's apple. He also chilled a bit, leading them to think it was the flu. He is incredibly healthy and was using his chain saw on some trees when he felt ill.
It was actually an inferior MI, which is the best kind to have.
He is feeling good and wants to get out of bed and "do something". Hopefully, he can do that soon.
I only got 45 minutes of sleep in the waiting room chair last night and briefly came home to a house full of clutter and normal, day-to-day disasters. I'm going to bed now.
Thanks for the prayers and support! It really, really helps!
