Well, we found out today that my father-in-law will be requiring a triple or quadruple bypass. Surgery is scheduled for Monday. DW is really upset and DS is old enough to know something not-so-great will be happening to grandpa.
Doctor said he has a strong heart and feels confident that things will go well. Funny thing - FIL had 75% blockage of his heart, but wasn't overly affected. Just said he felt a little more tired than usual. They caught it last week when he failed his stress test at his checkup.
Hopefully all goes well and he is up and at 'em soon enough. Just thought I would post this to ask for prayers and good vibes for my awesome FIL. Thanks in advance.
Ditto what Steve said! I'll keep him in my prayers.
And with all the XL & XXL shirt sizes, we should all make sure we see a doctor each year, take any meds they want to give you, let them do a prostate exam & even a stress test! My DW lost her father when she was 14 to a sudden heart attack, 27 years ago yesterday. Better to find it on a stress test! Personally, I plan on walking my daughter down the isle at WDW when the time comes
