Some of you may remember my post from about 4 weeks ago, about my Dad having a heart attack.
So, he was in Darlington Memorial Hospital for 21 days!! until he was finally transferred over to Freemans Newcastle for a defibrilator to be fitted. Once over at Freemans, doctors carried out a whole load more tests, including another angiogram. The results from the angiogram were a lot clearer than that at Darlington, and has resulted in the surgeon wanting to carry out a triple heart bypass rather than fit a defibrilator.
I know that he is in the right place, and that they wouldn't do this if they didn't need to, but I am so so nervous and scared for my poor Dad. All being well, he is due for the procedure tomorrow, what time we are not yet sure. We are going to see him again tonight, so expecting lots of teary eyes before his op tomorrow.
After his op he will be in Intensive Care for approx. 2 days, and then onto a High Dependency ward for another 2 or 3, and then hopefully back to a normal ward. I am hoping it will not be too long before he is back home with us - it will be a month this Friday since we were blue-lighted to Darlington Hospital with Dad in such a horrific state.
Please God, let him be ok!!
