I know the heart problems are frightening and the surgery isn't minor.
My sister had bypass surgery last summer and, while it wasn't pleasant it is considered routine now. Thankfully we live in times where this is something there's been plenty of experience on.
Keep us informed.

Thanks for replying....the problem is my Dad has a 10 percent chance of kidney failure during this operation (because of the radioactive dye they use), and that means ultimate death. My Dad is my best friend in the world. He is not old. He is the best parent on the planet (well, I'd say)...ahhhh...nobody ever understands...and I've lost a few of the closest people, including a child, in my life.

My sister and I are very close, too. Our mom doesn't understand it because we don't talk all that often (neither of us are really chatty), but when we do talk it's as if no time has lapsed.
I was so scared of losing her.
I can't even imagine what it must feel like to lose a child. I lost one for 20 years (I was forced to give her up for adoption) and that nearly killed me.
fingers and toes crossed for you and your dad.

Hi...thanks...and I feel for you and your sister too. I am very close with my siblings, and would feel the same way. I just think I haven't completed the 'greiving process' in a few ways, and now with this open wound I see my Dad going through, I am kinda mentally "fugged up"...a mental 'train wreck'...heh. It comes and goes..like grief does. Grief looks an awfull lot like depression, so it's not surprising the two can show up and even interchange with each other...in a kind of cruel way.
Best,
Jay

between grief and depression is that with grief you have a reason for feeling that way.
