I don't think he will give the ok to fly quite so soon after the surgery, but if you are driving it should be ok. Your dad will probably have one of two reactions to the heart attack, either he will be energetic, upbeat, and excited, wanting to experience everything life has to offer with a fresh set of eyes. Or he will suffer from a depression over his mortality hitting him square in the face (I still battle this feeling everyday and it has affected me more than I realize) Keep and eye on him, but son't change your plans for the D.C. trip unless doc says so. It would be a great thing to share and he will appreciate it so much more than he would have before the heart attack, will keep the pshychology out of it so as not to bore you, but I think it would be a great thing for you guys to experience together and help him get a positive experience as soon as possible. Good luck and again, prayers for you and yours.

This is not. Keep your political bullshit out of my thread.
