Dad went in for a routing cardiac catheterization at Melbourne Hospital last week. It was the last step before him getting a defibrillator inserted in his chest. He passed the stress tests and echocardiograms. Unfortunately, the doctor found a significant blockage in one of his aortic arteries. They put a large stent in and the procedure went fairly well.
He goes in for a follow up next week and we will have to re-visit/re-test to see if he is a candidate now for a defibrillator.
Other than that...Dad is his usual jovial self.
Uncle Kenny and Aunt Vesta say they are coming down for a visit. It will be nice to see them. I imagine they will stop some other places during their trip down. Hope they don't wait until it gets too hot!
Cindy has take to throwing a fit now when Dad leaves for his weekly poker game. She is used to the old man sitting in his chair with a book and the TV on and she does NOT like her routine to be interrupted. I tried to explain to Dad the the house must revolve around Cindy's every want and desire, but he won't acquiesce.
