I just found out my Dad has to have a stent/ balloon put in tomorrow...

Posted by MDH (aka MDH) Aug 31 '09, 11:01

I don't know too much about this, but hopefully this should be a routine procedure I assume? He went in for tests today and they told him he needs it done. He's going to be at Washington Hospital Center and they are doing it tomorrow.

Also, love that the news comes today when I'd planned on telling my parents I am signing a lease Wednesday, and moving out over the next 2 weekends.

Sounds like it is a pretty routine procedure... - amoxy Aug 31, 11:24
Thanks everyone, I appreciate it :-) Family is just a little nervouse so hopefully it all goes well - MDH Aug 31, 11:09
Should be as routine as you can get, best wishes for the normal procedure. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 31, 11:06
Pretty routine, and pretty helpful. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 11:05
I understand this has become a very common procedure. One good thing about it is that the results are instant vs. drugs -- nm - con_carne Aug 31, 11:05
My dad just had this done. He had the procedure on Tuesday, went home on Wednesday. - Jim Aug 31, 11:03 2
- Well that's good, thanks -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 11:04 1
  - My dad has an allergic reaction to the Plavix he was prescribed after the procedure. - Jim Aug 31, 11:06
My father had this several years ago. Relatively simple, yes, and since then he has been far more energetic than he'd become. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 11:03 2
- Yeah my Dad had been a bit slower, hopefully this helps. thanks. -- nm - MDH Aug 31, 11:04 1
  - Was an amazing change really. He'd just chalked up the slowing down to "getting older." It was like he was 10+ years younger afterwards. - Cuzzin Todd Aug 31, 11:14
