Update on my dad

ASmallWonder

He's home.  My mother deemed us worthy of an update *eyeroll*  But a year and a half ago he was diagnosed with two aneurisms - one being near his heart.  They have to be a certain size before they do anything more than watch them (seems crazy!).  Apparently during the surgery they discovered it has gotten a lot worse in that time and he now has to schedule timely surgery to have it repaired.  Fucking hell.

Thanks guys.  It's really a blessing because I know he hasn't been doing his follow up appointments so without today's surgery, it's likely it would have just burst and killed him.  He may still choose to ignore it but at least we all know about it and can maybe talk him into it.  If we ever talk lol  What a mess.

I'm sorry. I hope surgery and recovery go well for your dad.
