Yikes. Hope everything works out okay.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 1:23 am So my dad the last couple of days has been complaining about pain/ discomfort similar to acid reflux in the middle chest. Pain down through his shoulders, etc. Pounded him for days to get to the hospital. Finally did today. He was on on medivac helicopter within the hour going to San Angelo. Heart attack symptoms
I have an older sister and younger brother. We all have no option to go there. No visitors are allowed there due to the CV BS. All hospitals are locked down like prisons. My Dad is going through this without me beside him and I'm pissed beyond recognition.
He's actually fine. Talked to him an hour ago about about bringing him clean clothes, his Kindle etc Saturday. That is not the actual issue.I'm tired and need to go to work tomorrow. The issue is stenting the major heart problems vs Opening (rib spreading) an entire cavity of a 85 year old man. I'm pretty sure I know what the doctors and insurance people want to do.Thus the "Life's tough decisions".Biker wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 1:51 amThat sucks. Hang in there, WTC.

Thanks, fsfFreakShowFanatic wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 1:53 am Hope your father gets well soon WTC. Keep up the good work taking good care of him.
I would think stents would be much easier on him than cracking open ribs. My dad had a triple bypass at 76 and it was a very slow recovery. He was less than enthusiastic about doing the rehab stuff.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 2:24 amHe's actually fine.

If a stent is a viable option that is what you want. Way less recovery time than having the chest cracked.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 2:24 amHe's actually fine.

Best wishes for your father and hope your family is hanging in there. I know this is highly stressful.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 8:15 pm All of us talked to Dad this morning- sounded great. Everything went downhill in just the last 3-4 hours. Found unconscious in his room. Rushed to ICU. Diagnosed bleeding heart valve (doctors discussing survivor rate of 50% or less). Frantically worked and got him stabilized. Emergency air transport to Dallas. Just landed at Baylor Heart hospital in Plano and being rushed into immediate surgery. Waiting for the bad/ good news call. How was your day? And thanks for everybody's thoughts.
Holy shit. That’s horrible. Sorry to hear that. Praying for him to pull through.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 8:15 pm All of us talked to Dad this morning- sounded great.

So sorry to hear the bad news WTC. Try to be strong and keep you & your family safe.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 10:22 pm Thanks everybody. Just got the call- "bad"- imminent death within a couple of hours. Resting peacefully. Just got back from losing my shit out in the country by myself.
Shit. I'm sorry WTC. I know what you're going through and it ain't gonna be easy.WestTexasCrude wrote: ↑Fri Mar 20, 2020 10:35 pm And Boom- dead 32 hours after he reported his problems at the local hospital.
