Nath, I'm up for a catchup in between Chrissy and New Year. We go away on the 30th I think but I'm off unitl then.
Thanks to those who sent well wishes for my Dad. He was operated on yesterday and it was a marathon, about 5 or 6 hours of surgery.
It seemed there was further problems than the 4 bypasses and they found the main artery into his heart was clogged with calcium. They had to remove his heart and stop it beating to repair it.
Anyway, it appears to have been succesful and he is recovering well. We spoke to him this morning and by all info, will have a full recovery..
These doctors can do some amazing things...
So looks like I got my Christmas present as he will be up and about by then..
Sorry to hijack, its just a great relief....
