As I type, my Dad is having a stent placed in the main artery to his heart.
It's a common simple procedure, but it is still a shock to all of us.
A week ago we thought he was in perfect health, and then all of a sudden
a blockage was discovered.
It's tough to digest that he is in the hospital having this procedure, but even tougher because he is one of my best friends.
This is one of those crazy medical problems that are extremely serious, but once they're fixed... they're fixed!! Just like that.
So I just want it to hurry up and be fixed!
