Ooof. Things got more stressful

[cupcake_goth]

Dad woke up today with extreme shortness of breath and pressure/weight in his chest. We spent most of today in the ER.

HE IS OKAY NOW. He's been discharged from the hospital, and will be checking in with his doctor next week.

Short form: certainly a minor (really minor) heart attack, and fluid on his lungs. No one knows how the fluid on the lungs developed, because everything was good last night, and the EKG they ran on him today looked fantastic. He's staying at his ladylove's place for the next week, and will be taking his doctor-prescribed diuretics to help get rid of the excess fluid.

I, obviously, am not going to RuffleCon.

oooooooh, man, ouch. I've been there (w/ my mom), it's rough. hope you guys get a diagnosis soon and you are a very good daughter to support your Dad right now ... I know it probably doesn't need to be said but I wanted to say it anyway <3

definitely keep me posted on how this week goes, on the meds. The fluid is confusing.

I hope this is the end of the ack for him, and for you.

Agh!! Glad that it was something quite minor. Cardiac medicine is pretty amazing these days, so I am sure they will get your dad completely fixed up. You do not need this much excitement in your life.

Yeek. A speedy recovery to Gothic Charm Dad and many hugs for you.

Thank goodness he's OK. I can relate to having parents with heart trouble.

Was this a TIA?

Good luck, for what it's worth. I hope that he makes a speedy recovery.
