So dad had his pulmonary function test on Tuesday and a stress test. Dr. P didn't even make him run on the treadmill. She said she was too worried he'd keel over. So she sent him home with some Nitro and instructions to call 911 if he has to take more than 1!!! Now he is scheduled for next Tuesday to have a Cardiac Catheterization at CMC in Manch-Vegas.
Mom of course is all worried. She changed her flight home from next week to today, so she can be here in case he needs his wife, er, I mean nurse!! I'm to send out updates to her friends as she left her computer in Florida. So on Wednesday I'll send an updated email out, letting folks know what happens.
The timing on this is really stinky, what with mom being in Florida and dad getting ready to go. Turns out he'd been having "spells" all summer and had to leave chairs in random spots around the Fahm so he could sit when he ran out of breath. He only mentioned this in a "by the way doc" kind of manner when he went to see the doctor for something unrelated. Um, smart move Stu!
*sigh* Why can't he just take care of himself? But we do get to have mom home when we weren't expecting it, so YIPPEE for dad's spells!!! Wait...that sounds so wrong!
