Sorry to hear what happened to your dad Wayne. I know how you feel coz I've been there. Exactly the same situation as you except that my dad did not have the surgery. These bloody waiting lists kill people >:( >:( >:( :'( and my dad passed away before they could even book him for surgery last year in November. :'( :'( :'(
Hope your dad gets well soon mate and give him my very best wishes. I'll remember him in my prayers :y

Sorry to hear about your dad, what a nightmare. :'(
My Dad suffered a heart attack and had stents fitted about 18 months ago (no where near as serious as your Dad) and he's not the same person that he was either, he's just starting to feel better medically but his confidence and drive has gone! From what we've been told this is normal and takes time to sort.
Keep positive! :y
