football doesn't matter much any longer...
 

When you get a text at 2 am indicating your Pops had been admitted to the hospital with after suffering a coronary. Sitting here waiting for 2 hours with no news kinda blows but I presume he will get cleaned out and be fine in a couple days. He's 64.

Update: He's fine. Two stents and he'll be home in 2 days. Pretty minor by today's standards but he'd be dead if this were 30-40 years ago.

Best wishes. Keep us updated.

Damn. Keep us in the loop. Sorry to hear this. Prayers on the way.

best thoughts phil

Moment I posted, doc came in. He had 100 pct blockage too bottom artery. Couple stints, couple days in hospital and he should be fine.

What hospital and are they going to start this today?

:( That is some stressful stuff.

My grandpa, who was nothing short of a 2nd dad to my brothers and I, died 3 years ago at age 71 after battling various complications from CAD that began when he was 58. If it weren't for the perma-damage he accumulated as a result of refusing to go to the hospital until 12-14 hours after his initial heart attack began at age 58, he'd probably still be alive today. I am bitter to this day about some of the circumstances of his passing...especially the fact that he died a couple weeks before my first daughter (and his first great grandchild) was born. I will be pissed until the day I die that he never met my children.

With that said, for what it's worth, I sincerely wish the best for your father and hope he has a speedy recovery. I hope there isn't any substantial perma-damage and hope he rebounds from this like a champ and that your family is able to spend another couple decades with him.

Best wishes...

He is fine. In fact, just dropped mom at home so she can sleep and I am headed to bed too. He is all fixed up and will be home Sunday.

Sweet!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cool.

You have my prayers Phil. Truly.

EDIT

Guess I should have read a few more posts. That is great news!!!

Thoughts and prayers that he has a speedy recovery!

Glad to hear he is doing ok.

Best of luck to your dad, I lost mine over 30 years ago on this day
