Hopefully the doctors can take care of this problem, and maybe even convince him that with weight and history that he should check any future problems sooner rather than later. Purrs coming that his pain will be taken care of quickly, and for the worried family. -- Steve Touchstone, faithful servant of Sammy, Little Bit and Rocky [remove Junk for email] http://www.sirinet.net/~stouchst/index.html |

"polonca12000" wrote I'm so sorry to hear about your father, Marina. I do wish just like you that he went to the doctor sooner. Thanks, Polonca. I realised after I sent the message that this was not the time or the place to talk about it, but it just always brings back memories when someone here tells about their Dad being ill. -- Marina |

"Jennifer Winters" wrote in message ... "Jennifer Winters" wrote in message ... 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. My dad came home from the hospital this evening. From what I understand, they've ruled out a heart problem entirely. They're not sure if the pain is skeletal or muscular, though, and he's under orders to take it easy. Still, it's much better. Thank you to everyone who responded. And of course I'll be offering my prayers for those who still need them. -- Jennifer Winters Nerd in babe's clothing Yay! This is good news, indeed! Very happy for you and your dad. Christine |

I'm so very glad it turned out not to be a heart problem.
Continued purrs and best wishes for whatever is wrong with your father to go away, -- Polonca & Soncek "Jennifer Winters" wrote in message ... My dad came home from the hospital this evening.
