Dad Has Heart Attack

On Memorial day my father checked himself into a hospital in Kearny, Nebraska. He had been feeling chest pains for a couple weeks, and while he was driving his moving truck across the country to his new home in Moline, Il, he couldn't take it any more. The tests confirmed that 2 arteries were 99.9% clogged while a 3rd was 80% clogged. Luckily, he stopped at one of Two hospitals on 1-80 that has a heart surgeon. A few hour later he was in surgery and mom and I were on the road to him. He had a successful quadruple by-pass and now gets to spend a week in the hospital flirting with the nurses. I am very happy that he is OK and alive. I have returned home after a week of driving across the country to finish his drive for him and unloading his truck. My mom is returning to take care of him and my brother and sister will share the chores in Moline. This week has brought our family closer to each other and reminded me of how things can change in a second. The thoughts of losing my father have challenged my sense of permanence and have made me desire the love of my family even more. NO MORE GREASY SPOON FOR YOU DAD!!!!!!!!
