Guardedly Good News

neadodsWell, I've sworn in a conversation with my strict Baptist aunt and yelled at my Mother who has snapped back, and entirely broken down. Not my most gracious day. It's utterly killing me not to have news every second on the second.
However, Mother has called, with the caveat that she will call if there is news but not if there isn't (which is why I dare come online.) In either case, she will call tomorrow and we will see if I'm feeling up to coming up (because if this is a true sore throat she doesn't want me near, while if it's just stress, I should be okay to come up.)
Bottom line - the heart attack appears to be the natural consequence of my father going off his daily aspirin and eating all that high-fat animal protein in an attempt to control the blood sugar. They've put in two stents and he is recuperating so well that they're about to ship him away from the cardio section and back where he started. Dad is able to talk (although he doesn't particularly want to; he's been asking Mother to just sit quietly with him.) According to Mother, "Because there were 15 people in his room 30 seconds after this started, the doctor says there is no, or imperceptible, damage to his heart." There is some talk of discharging him on the original schedule.
So that's the news, and I'm taking hope from it.
