i stayed home today because i still feel like crap. probably i could have gone in but i'm tired of going to work when i feel gross

my dad had one of those deals where they put the dye in his arteries yesterday to check for blockage. this is the email i had from my mom this morning
Hi,
Dad is in the hospital over night and I hope to bring him home early
tomorrow morning.
He has three blocked arteries but his heart muscle is strong so they feel
they can correct this problem with angioplasty (balloon inflation to clear
the artery) and stints that will help hold the artery open. But being that
this is your father there is one more little problem we have to check out
first. He has an aneurysm in the main artery to his heart located in the
stomach area that is quite large. It is something the doctor feels is
hereditary but before they can do the angioplasty he must have more test to
determine the size of the aneurysm or weak spot. These test will be done in
the next few days by a specialist and then the decision will be made if he
needs surgery on this weak spot or if it is just something they will watch.
Once that is out of the way he will go back into the hospital for the
angioplasty and get his arteries opened up.
The good news is they could do open heart surgery on him but because his
heart seems strong he can have the easier procedure. This is really good
news and means he will be back to normal fairly quickly. The bad part is we
have to find out about this aneurysm stuff.
It is after eleven and I just got home so I am going to bed and will write
more when I get him home tomorrow. He will have to take some more
medications to help the blood flow smoothly until we get him fixed up but
other than not overdoing he will just wait for the test.
Talk to you later,
Love
Mom

not exactly good news but not exactly terrible, i mean nobody wants an aneurysm but at least he shouldn't need open heart surgery

small blessings, right?
