Reasons I like my dad, x of y in a series.
He continues to have follow on stuff from what happened and has recently had it lead to incidental hey, what's that on your heart? things. He has weird artery stuff, but they had to resort to old school poking around inside to decide exactly what was what. A coronary artery of some sort (not the main one) was severely narrowed. Normally, if they're going to poke, they also plan to do something at the time. But he still has cancer, so they poked, collected info, and sent him home while they confabbed with the collection of doctors. Five doctors later (this is necessary for him, now), they decided they would try the usual balloon and/or stent thing, if they could do it. So they planned that for this morning. They told him he would be kept at least overnight, but the usual you can't eat after midnight, and you can only have liquids afterwards for 24 hours.
This is why I like my dad - We were joking about how beer, wine, liquor, etc. were all liquids yesterday. Good beer is even nutritious! Well, he told the nurses he wanted good beer or red wine for lunch after the procedure. They're not gonna give it to him, but he was totally serious. He's pretty cool.
P.S. They were able to do the balloon and stent this time, so far so good with risk issues related to the cancer, and he's in recovery and will be going to a room in a bit.
