I just found out yesterday that my father (70) is going to have a repeat of the spinal fusion he had in Feb that led to his massive stroke. No one knew he had a hole in his heart, and during the 7-hr surgery his blood pressure plummeted, allowing blood to go through the hole, and the stroke happened while he was under general anesthesia and no one even knew about it for days, thinking his state was anesthesia-related. It was horrible. Well the the two titanium rods broke a few months ago, and he is in constant pain, so come Sept. they're going to redo the lower half of his spine.
Just scared. The hole in his heart has been patched, but still....
Trying to have faith, just not real strong today.
Starry
Thinking of you.
