Title: My Dad Post by: indianasmith on February 23, 2017, 12:15:22 AM Hey, gang, please send some thoughts/prayers/good wishes our way. My Dad suffered a heart attack tonight.
It was a fairly minor one, but he is 90 years old and frail, so it's been very hard on him. (And us.) Title: Re: My Dad Post by: El Misfit on February 23, 2017, 12:24:31 AM Sending you positive vibes from NOLA.

Title: Re: My Dad Post by: indianasmith on February 24, 2017, 10:40:59 PM Dad is slowly improving - they are now saying it was not a heart attack, but they can't say exactly what it was that caused such in irregular EKG.
On a separate note, my mother-in-law was admitted to the hospital yesterday with a cellulitis infection in her legs. She's on the 4th floor, my Dad's on the 2nd. Two nights in a row at the ER. It's been a meat grinder of a week! LOL Title: Re: My Dad Post by: RCMerchant on February 25, 2017, 12:35:06 AM I'm glad he's doing better Indy-keep yer chin up,buddy.

Title: Re: My Dad Post by: indianasmith on February 28, 2017, 07:32:55 PM I think my Dad turned the corner today. He's awake, coherent, and his various ailments seem to be responding to medication.

Title: Re: My Dad Post by: indianasmith on April 24, 2017, 10:08:41 PM He's recovered physically pretty well, but his dementia is getting worse. But, he's cheerful and says he doesn't hurt, so I'm grateful for that.
