My Daddy*short update on page 2*

So, it turns out that during our wedding, my dad was having a heart attack. He knew it, but didn't want to 'ruin or miss the day' and acted as if he was all fine and dandy.
That's my dad, it's what he does.

Well, I didn't find out about any of this until I got HOME from the HONEYMOON.
I understood their reasoning...but JEEZ! Ya, know?

Anyway, he's doing okay, he had several arteries that were blocked like 100% and they did an angioplasty and put stints in.

I thought that was the end of it. Apparently not.

He's in the hospital today having more work done, and while I'm pretty sure it's a 'standard' angioplasty that they are doing, I am always out of the loop when it comes to my parents' health issues.

My dad is not young, and while I'm sure he'll be fine, I'm quite nervous and worried about him.

I'm used to my mom being sick, she's been 'sick' since I was 5. But my dad... he's our rock. and the fact that there is something wrong with him, scares me and is totally messing with my head.

I'm sorry this is so long, but I can't talk to anyone in my family about this, b/c they just tell me I need to be strong so my mom and dad don't know I'm upset, plus a few of them have point blank told me that it's MY fault b/c the wedding caused the heart attack. I guess I just needed a place to let these feelings out.

Thank you for listening, and if you could keep him in your thoughts/prayers today, I'd really appreciate it.

So sorry about your dad.. I think it's dispicable that people would say it's your fault b/c of the wedding!! How dare they!!!

He is in my prayers!!!

its not your fault at all

my dad also had a heart attack and stents put it in a few years ago - he was in his late forties which is pretty young for a heart attack - it was a scary time dont worry things will be ok. we are here for you!

awww so sorry I am glad to hear at least he went to the hospital and I pray for a speedy recovery I could only imagine how you felt hearing that he was having an attack the day of your wedding

First of all, how could it be your fault? People are so dumb just ignore them.

I will be praying for your dad today

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time...I'm sorry....

Dont think for one second your wedding is the reason for this!! How can someone say that!!

for a quick recovery

I'm so sorry!!

Your wedding did not cause his heart attack- I hope you know that!

I can't tell you not to worry, because honestly, who wouldn't worry about their Daddy!

Just know that we're here and that modern medicine has come a long away! I'm sure everything will be fine. If your dad was able to be at the wedding and enjoy it, he is still strong and with the proper medical care can recover just fine!

Keeping you and your family in my prayers!!!

Ladies thank you so much

In my head, I know it's not my fault. But in my heart...

My mom had a heart attack 2 weeks before the wedding, and my dad had a heart attack the day of the wedding...

I can't help but feel guilty. I felt guilty before anyone SAID anything, so once it was said out loud... well, i don't think I'll ever really feel like it's not my fault.

How could someone be so callous as to say its your fault!! Of course it isn't and you should be able to let your feelings out about how this is affecting you. If you can't do it at home then let it out here. I'm so sorry to hear this. You and your family are in my prayers

So sorry you have to go through this. I can't believe that people said that its your fault! I'm sure your wedding was one of the happiest days of your dads life! Hope he feels better!

I am sorry to hear about this.

Don't worry, Kerri. My dad JUST went through a similar procedure. He's going to be 100% soon!

Thanks Heather! It's always good to hear from people who've 'been there' Like I said, I know how this goes, my mom had it done, and my dad has had it done in the past as well as a month ago... and I know that it's done 'out patient' so he can most likely come home today...

I just... I can't handle my dad not being 100% at all times. It's a lot of pressure for him I'm sure... but when I was little I could handle my mom being as sick as she is, b/c I knew that Daddy would ALWAYS be there... and the older we both get... the more I realize...

okay enough of this.
someone post a controversial topic to distract me. Heather, where's the QoD?

im so sorry to hear this i will keep you and your dad in my prayers

it's okay to let out how you really feel and to not be strong all of the time.

we are all here for you...

my prayers are with you and your dad

WHat what what????? WHOAAA!!!! Not Your Fault Girl!! I am sooo sorry to hear about your Dad!!! I will keep you and your father in my Prayers....
Do Not Let ANYONE tell you it was your fault!!! That is absolutely Rediculous!!! You are more than entitled to be upset and worried!!! If anything, I would have been angry that nobody told me what was going on....I am soooo sooo sorry...If you need someone to talk to, FM Me!!

hugs for you and your family.

So sorry. You and your dad are in my thoughts.
