So an update. Hubby drove his dad 3 hours home. No surgery. He does need 3 bypasses. Let's see if I can explain....well, at least note what i was told. The local hospital saw 1 open artery, one blocked at 80% and 2 blocked at 100% so they airlifted hubby's dad to a better heart hospital 3 hours away. But when he got there, and the heart specialist checked him out, they decided that since he was not having a heart attack, not in any pain, and it was a Friday night...to release him and schedule the triple bypass for when they have a full staff.
They are supposed to call tomorrow with a date for the operation.
And now, his dad is not eating. Can't keep food down, he's sick to his stomach. So, of course, hubby is beside himself with worry, compounded by the fact that he's exhausted, has to work remotely starting tomorrow morning, and the list just goes on. He sounded completely stressed out tonight. But not much I can do from here.
His dad has had type 2 diabetes for about 30 years, is insulin depedent, is non-compliant (possibly worse about that then my husband if that's possible) and just does not take care of himself at all. Yet he does not have the physical symptons that my hubby has of charcot's foot, gout, etc. If you looked at my FIL, you would not know he has anything wrong at all.
It's been a quiet weekend here. I'm getting lots of rest. :o)
