I just got a phone call from my older sister, my dad had to go in for some tests and has to go into emergancy surgery for a very bad blockage in the artery in his neck. Please keep him in your prayers. ☹ ---

Not a praying man but I will hope for the best. My dad went in for that test also but came back negative. The surgery from what I’ve heard isn’t too invasive and shouldn’t really jeopardize his health. Best of luck. ---

Thanks everyone. He’s having the surgery this morning. Its nerve wrecking not knowing wtf is going on right now though. He has a **99%** blockage of the right artery. Sidenote: call it devine intervention, or an amazing coincidence, or just luck…but my dad fell and hit his head in an icy parking lot back in december. He was having really bad post concussion symptoms for a while, which is what led to them to doing the tests that made them discover the blockage. So if he didn’t take that spill, there would have been no way of knowing there was a problem and he would have died in the near future from a massive stroke. Just something to ponder…the whole “everything happens for a reason” deal. ---
