That bag looks very GC.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

The hospital that Dad is in is close to my office, so, since I hadn't heard from him, I drove over there a little bit ago. He had an angiogram to see what was going on, and it turns out that he had a blood clot, and that's what caused the heart attack.

He was still in the recovery area, and hadn't had a follow-up discussion with his cardiologist, so I can't say this for sure, but it's possible that putting the stent in his blocked vein on Monday led to a clot getting loose and travelling. Fortunately (EXTREMELY so) it didn't result in a stroke or death.

He *will* be having a follow-up discussion with his cardiologist at some point today, so he'll get all the facts eventually.

Short version: he's good. Still in hospital, probably will get to go home tomorrow.

Shorter version: fuck Superman; *my Dad* is the man of steel.

Glad to hear that Steph.

putting the stent in his blocked vein on Monday led to a clot getting loose and travelling.

VERY common occurrence, Teppy. Also, if he's taking drugs to reduce clotting and cholesterol, plaque deposits could be breaking up as well. That triggered several of Hubby's attacks. He dropped his cholesterol hundreds of points, and all the happily attached cholesterol chunks started migrating and looking for places to cause trouble.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Woo hoo! Go Dad of Tep!

Sounds like a punk rock version of Cinderella.

Good news on your dad, Steph.

I'm picturing roving gangs of cholesterol cells, with nunchucks and 2 x 4s with nails in one end, cruising through my dad's veins, yelling, "Let's FUCK SHIT UP!!!"

There have got to be Bitches interested in this [link]

Should I x-post it with the craft thread Minearverse?

Mostly lurking...

Nope. Calling home on some students. May or may not help. I need to come up with a plan.

Plans? Who needs plans?! Oh, wait. Yeah. People like us.

Susan, I want to hear what’s up and what’s going on in your head right now. I’m dealing with some similar issues.

Jessica, that’s sucky, and I grant pox upon all of the people frustrating you.

FWIW, I just posted my career dilemma stuff on my LJ....

I’ll check there next!

Oh, dear, Steph. Glad to hear he’s doing ok, though.
