Dad update

So Dad gave the Ok for more information.

His blockages are as follows: 100, 95, 70, 65 in the various arteries. JL's has been hard on his arteries.

Dad is going in on the 17th of August (time unknown as of right now and will continue to be unknown until a few nights before). The surgery will take 3 hours (approx.) and will be in Intensive Care Unit for a minimum of 1 day and a maximum of 2 (this has all been reported before). Please note that this is immediate family only by request of basically everyone. After ICU, then he goes out to a normal room and then feel free to come in, take pictures, stare at him for hours on end without saying anything, etc... He will be in a normal room for 3-4 days. The way I understand is that he will be in for 5 days total. If he's in ICU for 2 days then he will be in a normal room for 3. If he's in ICU for 1 day then he will be in a normal room for 4 days. I could be mistaken and will let you know if I am.

Now we get to the penalties section of the post. So you decide that you want to go see him in ICU anyway, what would the consequences be? Imagine this... Imagine his son is dealing with a very bad situation with renters and is stressed up to breaking limit. But his son can't do anything to the renters because they are in his house. Now imagine his son needs a release of frustration and anger because of said situation and doesn't care who he takes it out on. Said son has two choices, family or random stranger. Here's a tip... Random stranger gets it every time.

Sorry for ranting on and on but when it comes to hospitals and us, we haven't had a lot of luck with people being polite.

Oh that's too bad! No visitors... We had enough visitors coming that we got a group rate at the nearest hotel.
