There is another Allen in the heart center and they keep getting them confused. They almost gave dad a surgery by accident. Some guy just wandered in and is apparently a nurse (he's wearing the clothes) but I'm not sure that he knows what he's doing. I bet he's a homeless guy that just found some scrubs in a garbage can someplace and decided to earn a few bucks.
Now the doctor is in and he's confused too. He doesn't know where he is. Literally.
Dad did well according to the doctor. Apparently stints aren't going to be the answer. Medications apparently won't be the answer either.
Here's the plan:
Get the leg better (over the next couple of hours). Go home today. He has to lay still for 2 hours and no heavy lifting over 3 days.
See a surgeon over the next week or two. It's no rush since he's doing well.
Bypass surgery and a week (or more) stay in the hospital. This is the real surgery.
