I’m so sorry. Hope he’s on the road to recovery soon. Peace and strength to you and your brother. Healing to your dad.
Are you sure he had another heart attack? Ventricular tachycardia is an abnormally fast heart rhythm that is more likely to happen to someone whose heart has been damaged (like someone who has had a heart attack) but it’s not a heart attack in and of itself.
Just wanted to point out that distinction because I know how scary the phrase heart attack can be.
Hope that your dad makes a fast recovery. Have his doctors explained to him what would be involved in getting the pacemaker? Sometimes older guys like that can be very very stubborn about taking care of themselves unfortunately.
Crap. Can you come back with some good news, please?
Sending good thoughts your way.

My brother & I visit in shifts.
My leave days are running out, & after Xmas I will have to go back to work or risk dismissal.
The Family Leave Act covers care, not me sitting in the hospital.
Bosda, you’re in my thoughts and prayers. I’m so sorry to hear about what you and your family is going through.
Bosda - Take care of yourself. Go before and after work, if you have to.

The Hospice Doctors came today.
His heart, lungs, and kidneys are basically shot.
6 months or less.
Oh man, I’m so sorry.
I’m so terribly sorry this is happening to you and your family. May you all find strength to bear it.
Bosda so sorry to hear this. FWIW your dad, brother and you are in my thoughts and prayers as you deal with these issues.
I’m so very sorry to hear this. You’re all in my thoughts.
I’m sorry to hear this, Bosda. You and your family remain in my thoughts.
Again…Crap.
Words fail. You and your family are in my thoughts.

Aw man. I’m so sorry to hear that. At least he has family who care nearby. As others have said, don’t forget to take care of yourself.
So sorry. My thoughts are with you.
very sorry to hear this.
I have found hospice to be excellent - I hope your Dad gets all the help possible.
Still alive.
Blood pressure much lower.
Cannot take solid food, or water.
We are giving him thickened juice or ice cream.
Tuesday? Wednesday?
Moderator: Please retitle this tThread. Bosda’s Dad Dying.
I’m so sorry about your dad.
I reported your post so the mods can make the thread title change you requested.
I am so very sad for you. I was feeling sorry for myself because my wife informed me two weeks ago that she wants a divorce. Surprise! No ugliness, I haven’t done anything awful, she just “isn’t in love with” me any more. Reading for diversion, I encounter your thread. Damn! My problems seem tiny in comparison to what you’re going through now. I wish you all possible strength and hope.
