My Daddy*short update on page 2*

Original post by bemyyoko

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.

I just wanted to give a brief update...
The procedure is over, and we were told that he's doing fine. They aren't letting him come home like he said he would, but that actually helps calm me down b/c if he were here I'd be worried, so while he's there they can take care of him and keep an eye on him. My brother said the Dr. sounded like it was routine to keep him over night.

Thank you for all of your messages, FM's, and IM's.


Yay Kerri, I'm so happy your Dad is doing better. I'm a little late in this post but I know exactly how you feel about your Dad being the rock and for something to be wrong. My Dad has aged 20 years just in the last 5 -10yrs and he will barely be able to walk me down the aisle, so I totally get how it messes with your head.

As someone else said, as difficult as it is, try not to expend ANY energy on other people's negative thoughts and reactions. They're not worth it. Your dad is the one who should be having the benefit of your energy, not these wackos!

We're all pulling for you and your family. Hang in there!
