So a few nights ago my mom calls to say my dads on the way to the hospital. They weren't sure what happened but could have been a stroke or some type of heart attack.
Bright and early in the morning I call the nurses station and he's doing pretty well. The test show that something went wrong with his heart but they're still not exactly sure.
So my mom and I drive out to see him and he goes down for a heart cath.
Back in 1999 he had a quadruple bypass. Since then everything's been pretty fine. After the heart cath the cardiologist comes in and tells us that out of all 4 only 1 was working. Who knows how long he's been walking around with 1 artery pumping to his heart? How in the world can a man of his age and multiple health issues simply have a mild heart attack little to no damage, with only one artery pumping?!
Truly amazing! I surely never thought a heart attack could be a blessing in disguise!
