Mom said he was a little more alert this morning. But when Mom and I went back to visit him this afternoon, he not alert at all. Very sleep. Barely spoke a word. He didn’t answer when Mom tried to tell him we were there. He did squeeze her hand a little when asked. Mom was able to spoon feed him a little food. I guess we need to be patient.

I was finally able to see him today. He is very confused. He knew he was in the hospital, but he didn’t know which one and he didn’t know why he was in the hospital. He knew who Mom and I are. They had to put mitts on his hands to prevent him from pulling out the stuff they got him connected to. They connected a catheter to take care of hi bathroom needs. Mom kept trying to explain this too him, but he didn’t understand and kept wanting to get to go to the bathroom. It is very difficult to see him so confused. My mom is strong, I just wish I could be stronger for her. I hope he regains his senses soon.
Yes Warbler, my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I haven’t given an update for a bit. My father had to wait 12 days before the doctors were finally able to perform his bypass surgery. His initial heart attack is often described as the “Widow Maker” because it so thoroughly kills the majority of those it afflicts.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_interventricular_branch_of_left_coronary_artery#Widowmaker
They did not immediately perform the surgery because it was believed that his neurological damage would be so severe due to the poor circulation of his heart immediately following the heart attack. Their protocol was to first induce hypothermia for 24 hours to preserve his mind as much as possible and see if there was anyone upstairs worth saving.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Targeted_temperature_management#Cardiac_arrest
My dad woke up on his own after maybe 12 hours of hypothermia, unexpectedly, and his mental capacity seemed to remarkably intact, much to the amazement of the physicians caring for him.
After several complications including pneumonia, excessive internal bleeding (he was given heparin, a blood thinner to prevent further blockage, but was difficult to control as he would continue to bleed far longer than expected even after heparin was stopped), and other things, they finally went ahead with the surgery on Monday. There they discovered that he had a hole in his hear in the left ventricle, the chamber of the heart responsible for circulation to the entire body. Of all that my father had survived, this was the most amazing.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myocardial_rupture#Prognosis
Mortality for this incident is 100%! Nobody survives this! My father had been living with this for several days. As the tissue died from the lack of circulation to a portion of his heart, the hole developed a few days after his heart attack. It was undetected. He should have bled to death. But miraculously, the pericardium, the lining outside the heart, somehow had adhered directly to the cardiac muscle, when normally there is a space between the two. As it held tightly there while the hole developed, the blood was able to clot over the hole, thus preventing him from bleeding to death. The cardiac surgeon performed a double bypass and stitched up that hole.
Now my dad is not yet out of the woods. While he continues to slowly improve, there is always the chance that something will go south. I just have to say here that while I know there are many who do not believe in God or the power of prayer, and while you all can point to the (now slightly less than 100%) remaining people who have had the same complication and died, I personally attribute all the miraculous perservation of my father’s life to a God who loves my dad. I am so grateful to God for whatever reason he felt my dad still had some time left on this earth.
I respect all your views, and no one need comment on my spiritual interpretation, as I do not wish to stir up a religious debate. But where we all can agree, it is truly astounding that my father’s heart is still beating, that he can understand what I said to him today over the phone, that he continues to recover in spite of complications, and I am so grateful that my this man yet lives. Thank you all for your well wishes, thoughts, and to those to whom it applies, your prayers. I also am grateful to those with whom I’ve had tiffs in the past who put aside any harsh feelings you may have for me to wish my dad and family your kind thoughts. Thank you all. I’ll likely never meet any of you, but even across the Interwebs, I am grateful for your kindness.
That is just amazing. I hope your father continues to recover. I’ll keep praying.
Good news about my Dad. The 3rd cat scan showed the bleeding in his head has stopped. He is stable but a bit confused. The Doctor thinks he can recover, but it will be a while and it won’t be easy.
2nd Cat scan still shows bleeding. They are still trying to treat without surgery. Thank you so much for your prayers
Thankyou.
Thankyou Frink
They are not going to try surgery for right now. They are giving him something that will reverse the effects of the blood thinner he is on, and will be doing other things to hopefully stop the bleeding.
Would those that pray, please pray for my father? He had a bad fall in our kitchen this morning. The took him to the hospital. He didn’t lose consciousness and he was’t bleeding on the outside. But when they did a cat scan, they found a little bit of bleeding in his head. They may have to do surgery. Thanks in advance
Well, the US Women’s Beach Volleyball team blew it against Brazil. I thought that was a guaranteed gold medal. Oh well.
Did you know they lost to the Brazilian team that won the most recent World Championship, was top-seeded, and was favored to win Gold? If they lost to the US, I guess they would have been ashamed of themselves.
I didn’t say the US Women’s Beach Volleyball team should be ashamed of themselves. As for whether or not the Brazilian team should have ashamed of themselves if they had lost, the US team is lot better at beach volleyball then the Swiss women’s soccer team is at soccer. Also there is a difference between a World Champ losing in the Olympic semi-final and one that doesn’t get that far.

Or just slide over to middle and ring finger.
This is what I’ve done, but I don’t find it too comfortable.
They should be ashamed for not playing as well as they can.
This happens in sports all the time. If it didn’t, there would be no reason to play the games.
it does not happen all the time that a team as good as the Women’s US Soccer team get eliminated as early as they did. This is like the New England Patriots not even making the playoffs because they lost a game to the Miami Dolphins.
Granted, but so what?
You take sports too seriously.
As signified by this:
That said:
USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA! USA!

me cheering on my Countries Olympic athletes is a sign that I take sports too seriously?
The area I live in, we take sports seriously.
I don’t think they are judging the horses in the equestrian events as much as they are the riders.
USA (best women’s football team with a terrible human being as their goalkeeper)
I’ll agree with this description.
Oh, I like sports, and I care minimally about the outcomes, just out of basic interest. I just don’t think sports, and the Olympics particularly, are really as important as some people make them out to be.
Which is what I’m trying to tell Warbler.
you’re wrong and I refuse to explain why.

you know what? it is obvious that you are misguided about sports. Since I think I’ve explained this to you in the past and you didn’t get it, I am not going to waste multiple pages explaining why. So for now on, whenever the subject of sports comes up I am just going to tell you that you are wrong, and refuse to explain why.

I just think it’s a little harsh to say that anybody who does something better than you could ever dream about doing should be ashamed of themselves for not doing it well enough.
Or doing it poorly one time.
So tell me, if the Cubs were a eliminated this year by the Phillies, would you say it would wrong to say they should be ashamed of themselves?
They lost an elimination game to an inferior team. It is not wrong to criticize them for it.
I just think it’s a little harsh to say that anybody who does something better than you could ever dream about doing should be ashamed of themselves for not doing it well enough.
They should be ashamed for not playing as well as they can. They should have won this game easily. That I can’t play anywhere near as well as they can is irrelevant here.
I’m finding out that its difficult to use a mouse without the right index finger.
Yeah I’m sure if you’d been playing it would have been a whole different story, right Warbler?
Of course not! That isn’t the point! The point is, this is a team that won the World Cup, and they couldn’t even make to the semi-finals in the Olympics. They lost to a team they should have been able to beat. They should be angry with themselves instead of being angry with the other team.
This single picture is all that is needed to summarize the US domination of the games so far.
except when it comes to Women’s Soccer.
btw, Hope Solo should be ashamed of herself for being such a sore loser and calling the other team cowards. In fact the whole team should be ashamed of themselves for losing to an inferior team not even making it to the semi-finals.
I’d think to b____ about my own clumsiness with a serrated knife. This morning I was trying to cut a bagel and while I was cutting the bagel. I cut myself. I cut the tip of my right index finger badly. I had to go to an urgent care center nearby and get three stitches put it. I might be able to swimming as originally planned this coming Sunday, as a result. 😦

Well, to me “serialized” means each episode is a direct continuation of the previous one. So just the last 7(?) episodes of DS9 match this criteria. Of course I’m not implying that my definition is the correct one.
its more than just the last 7 episodes.
