Shit

[Kitalpha Hart]

Dad had a heart attack
He got flown to the hospital
We're headed there now

Tl;Dr death has a vendetta against him

[MonkeyGirl18]

Aw, I'm sorry. Hope he gets better!

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I'm so sorry! A scary time for you and your family...but there are many things they CAN do so hopefully he gets the care he needs.

One friends husband the "widow maker artery" was almost completely closed a few weeks ago and the ER Drs were able to clean things out, put in a stint and he is up and walking around and they were headed to the gym today, so lets keep good thoughts for your Dad too.

[Kitalpha Hart]

100% blockage in an artery, already stinted
He should be fine
Has to give up smoking
Sister in her MercyFlight uniform let us wait in a different waiting room from the usual

We saw him as he moved from one room to another and he was with his usual jokes
Imma take it as a good sign

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I think that is a good sign too! Let's keep hoping and praying!!

[Kitalpha Hart]

Got to meet him
He's doing all right

they will probably want him to be very careful with diet and exercise etc from now on.

Glad you got to go in and see him, it makes a difference if they can catch things early enough - good thing he recognized the signs. I hope he will be out soon.

[galled]

Thank goodness! Giving up smoking is never a bad thing. When will he be allowed to go home?

[Kitalpha Hart]

He's gonna be there for a few days, and is gonna be off work for at least a month which he isn't thrilled about

[ShiroGEM]

Glad to hear he's alright. ; u ; Heart attacks are always scary.

[Diana]

Oh no! That's really scary. Sorry you have to go through that with him.
It's great to hear he's doing better (cracking jokes is a very good sign). We hope he has a speedy recovery!

[Kitalpha Hart]

He's hoping to be discharged tomorrow
Mom doesn't think they discharge on holidays
We'll see
Knowing him, he's also gonna try and get back to work before he's allowed to

[Watery Star]

Sad to hear that but glad he's ok now. I hope he doesn't push himself, he really needs to let himself recover.

[Kitalpha Hart]

Less salt, he can't add any at all now
Switch to low fat cheese
Less red meat, more fish
Suggested he stop smoking (he is currently down to two a day from a pack a day)
No work for two weeks
Daily walks

Outside that, he doesn't have to change anything

[Ryvvi]

aww im glad hes ok!
pretty scary when stuff like this happens suddenly.. my fathers not so great with this sort of thing either :/
