Hey everyone,
If I could get some prayers sent my way. My dad had a heart attack yesterday. Two stints put in today. One 90% blockage and one 100% blocked artery.
Ten years ago he had two stents put in, one in each femoral artery and a triple bypass.
So his heart isn’t the greatest to start off with.
He’ll be in the hospital until Tuesday.
I hate to be so selfish. But I just want him to get better and make better lifestyle choices.
I want him to see me get engaged/married/ have kids one day.
It’s too soon. I’m not ready for his time to be up yet.

Sorry to hear this. He must be pretty young to be having these heart problems. I hope he does well with his procedure and makes a full recovery. Positive thoughts headed to you and your family.

“Young” 68 year old.
thankfully he quit smoking at 50. But the clogging arteries are definitely related to his almost 40 years of smoking cigarettes.

He is older than me then. I just figured since you were in your 20's he would be younger than me. My father smoked a lot when he was younger but quit when he was in his late 30s. He had lung cancer some 40 years later.

moms 3rd husband
Dads 2nd wife
So they had me at 40.
I don’t know what I would do if I found out he had cancer too....
both sides of my family died from cancer. All the cigarettes and alcohol during the wars and depression.

My dad's heart attack was out of the blue. 59 no cholesterol or blood pressure medication nothing to say he was going to have a HA. Physical said he was in good shape bam a HA coded on table. Now just a scar and it's as if nothing happened.

I had a friend that had the bad one when he was in his 50s - the one they call "The Widowmaker." The fortunate thing for him is that he was in New Orleans only a block from the Tulane Medical Center, They saved his life.

Another really freaky thing that happened to a friend of mine in his 50s. He came home from work and was walking to his house when it hit him. He fell between his vehicles in his driveway. No one could see him, except his neighbor across the street who was also in our circle of good friends. Well, she also happened to be a trauma nurse (from Canada) and she had a portable defibrillator in the trunk of her Lexus. She was washing dishes and saw him fall. She ran immediately to her car and grabbed the defibrillator and got his heart restarted. She saved his life. He had a quadruple bypass and is still kicking today, some fifteen years later. Two very fortunate individuals.

SHORT STORY:

When two guys see each other after they where in a shootout over a girl two years before.

They cross paths and one guy try’s to ram the others car (with the girl in it)

Ends up hitting the gas pump, hoping out of the car and to jump in the others car to beat the other guy to a pulp.

Man, after two years. Time to let go of that relationship. Talk about carrying a grudge. Geeze.

My dad had that happen around 55 years old.
12 years later it's like nothing happened, wish he would/could quit smoking though.
He's trying to quit right now.
That's how my mom passed, lung cancer that spread due to a lifetime of smoking.
