i just found out my step-dad had a mild heart attack over the holiday weekend. WOW. so very luckily, he had surgery and is OK.

thing is, he is is athletic. plays tennis every day. used to coach. so good that my little bro is kick-ass, cal poly pomona is lucky to have him!! so what the fuck?? 3 arteries were partially clogged and 1 was 100% clogged. doctor said he could have had a MASSIVE HEART ATTACK ANY DAY.

what really makes me appreciative, is that there has been a lot of well wishing and prayer-requests going on around AF. and it has really shown how caring you all are. i can't help but to think that some of your good spirit has blessed my family. so just thank you, for being the amazing group that you all are. maybe you cannot understand this, but i believe this is true: you all are a blessing to me and my family, and i am so thankful.:love

I am glad he just had a mild Heart attack......someone is watching over him.





Many factors have a role in it(and being athletic..although healthy, doesnt mean he is heart healthy.....but i wont bore you with that.
I am happy it was caught in time, enough for him to have something done about it:)


I always pray for people and there Families!

wow that's so awesome that he only had a mild wake-up call and not a life-threatning attack. That's so scary...heart disease runs in my dad's family, and I worry about him soo much. I'm only 15, but my dad will be 56 soon. His father died at 59. I can't only have my dad for 3 more years. :cry so I understand how scary that must be. best of luck to your daddy! glad surgery went well-in my prayers. :)

My husband's mother's husband (we don't call him step dad because they got married after we did!) had a heart attack last week, too. His was also mild and they fixed his problem with a stent. He does have to go back for a robotic heart bypass in about a month. A robotic bypass is where they go in with 4 robotic arms and do the bypass. They do not have to cut your chest open. It is as close to out-patient heart bypass surgery as you can get!

Good wishes and prayers to your family!
