I have been a bit evasive the last few days, unsure of what is happening, my dad had a heart attack on Saturday, I was informed on Sunday when they knew what was happening, and that it was one.

He appears to be OK at the moment - but I have no idea when he will be out.

So I will be visiting occasionally and is why I couldn't help with James' evaporator

Hope all goes well..

As an experience my father had 3 stent adventures..Even the best ones tend to go close..Most important is regular walking..

[Entwood]

Think on it this way, might give a little comfort I hope .....

He's getting treatment and has a chance of a full recovery ... could have been different.

Hospitals are NOT nice places, but mostly folks leave in better condition than they arrived.

I have been in and out of hospitals for the last 19 years, the prognosis at the begining was 5 years with luck ... medical science is always improving and what would have been terminal years back is now a routine fix.

I'm sure things will look different in a day or so .. the initial shock is bad, but the survival rates for treated cardiac problems is very high.

best wishes to all your family

Please pass on my regards to you and yours, Martin.  Its almost a year since I had to get bump started on the hard shoulder of the local motorway by an ambulance crew who were (luckily) just 10 feet from where I dropped like a sack of sugar.....  

Had 6 or 7 stents later inserted in a 100% blocked right artery (even watched it on the telly, was wide awake, most fascinating!!) and now awaiting a descision as to what is intended for the other two major arteries that are blocked on the left side.

Given the medication and treatments now available, things are much more positive now that several years ago.  Onwards and upwards, mon ami!!

The evaporator is the last thing to worry about mate, it's probably going to go in the bin in favour of SGI anyway.

Focus on your priorities

[Martin_1962]

Thanks for all the support, it is appreciated, I have to keep away for a couple of days as I picked up a cough
