Surgeries

So Dad had to go to the hospital today, to have an angioplasty done (where they put dye in your bloodstream to see the veins/arteries in your heart to look for blockages). If all went well, they'd find nothing. If all didn't go well, Dad would be having by-pass. Got off work, called to find out the scoop (and go break up Mom and B's day if they were still waiting on the angioplasty to finish up) to find out he was in cardiovascular recovery. He ended up having surgery (again, had surgery in November on a major hernia and has to have another surgery for another one that they didn't attempt at that time) to have a balloon (possibly two, he and B couldn't remember for sure) and a stint put in. One of his main blood vessels (left anterior maybe, can't remember for sure now) was 90% blocked, so he was a heart attack waiting to happen basically.

And, N will be having surgery sometime in the near future -- possibly two. He's got a deviated septum, and will be having surgery to fix that. And if that doesn't take care of most/all of his problems, then he might be having his tonsils out (so looking forward to that surgery, at basically 30 years old, that's gonna suck).

Sad that the only real update I have is on all the surgeries looming in my future (known surgeries -- N is also suspecting needing to have his gall bladder removed soon too).

UGH!
