Purrs please
Most of you don't know me because I only lurk here, but I would like to ask
for some purrs for my father. My mom came home a few minutes ago, after having been gone all day and she told me the following news: Apparantly, since Tuesday, my dad has been feeling chest pains, but like the stubborn person he is, he didn't tell anyone about this until this morning, when he told my mom. They went to the local hospital in Linden, where the nurse did some tests and told them that he apparantly didn't have any of the enzymes that would indicate a heart attack. Nevertheless, she sent them on to a hospital in Texarkana, over an hour away. They admitted him fairly rapidly, and did some more tests, including a electrocardiogram. They're keeping him overnight and they may do a catherization tomorrow or they may do a shunt. If they do a catherization, he may be home tomorrow; if they do a shunt, he may be home by Sunday. Needless to say, I'm very angry at him for not getting this checked out sooner, because his father died of a heart attack. And I'm worried about him. He is very overweight so his condition is worse than it otherwise might be. I'd like to ask for good thoughts, wishes, prayers, or whatever for him, please. It may be nothing, but I'm still worried. -- Jennifer Winters Nerd in babe's clothing |

The important thing is he's getting the treatment he needs. Please know we're thinking of you and keep us posted. Good luck. Sherry |

Of course, purrs are coming pronto for your dad and your family. Please
keep us posted. Sometimes, unfortunately, it takes a crisis for people to wake up about their health (my DH has heart disease in his family, too, and I worry a lot about him, also.) hugs, Christine "Jennifer Winters" wrote in message ...
