For those who I haven't talked to in the last couple days, we had to take my dad to the hospital on Thursday. He was having pain in the chest and shortness of breath. It turns out that he was having a heart attack. They are going to be doing a quadruple bypass tomorrow morning. Thankfully the attack did not cause any damage to the heart itself, so this is pretty much a replacement of plumbing. He does not have any factors that would would cause complications, so I am hopeful that everything will go well.
This is all just totally overwhelming for me right now. It has barely been 3 weeks since my mom passed. It feels like everything is just falling apart around me right now. The only thing keeping me going is my faith, and all of the support and encouragement from my family and my family here.
Trying to look on the bright side...I went to the doctor today about my leg....I am off any restrictions, and am going back to work next Monday. While I wish I would have had another week or 2 to deal with all of this, I guess keeping my mind occupied by working will help in some way for me to cope, and be good for my health to get my body back into its normal routine again.
Sorry you are having a ruff week... I to am having one, but I guess More self inflected then physical... I will add you and your father to my Prayers.. Please keep us posted on his recovery:)
One Day at A Time... Keep it Simple... Work my be enough to distract the mind for you... I will pray that it is... Take care of you ... And let HP take care of the rest...
I am sorry you are being faced with so much at this time. Thankfully you have strong faith, which is apparent. You are finding positive things to focus on, and hopefully getting back to work & getting moving again, will help. Hopefully, dad will get through without any hiccups, God willing ~ Prayers on the way to you & yours. Much love to you.

My Mustard Man, I know how hard this is. Remember your world may seem like it is crashing around you, but your Alanon family and friends are the foundation. We are holding you up. Pipers and I have all our fingers, toes, legs, arms, paws and tail (hers not mine) crossed for your Dad's speedy recovery. All will be well with your Dad. He's a strong man, just like his son. We are saying extra prayers and sending you LOTS of positive thoughts your way. I'm glad your leg is doing better. I swear I didn't want to go back to work after Tim passed.
