You may have noticed.....

That I have not been around the past 2 days.. Well I woke up weds morning to some bad news. My father was being rushed to the hospital for heart problems.

I've spent the last 2 days in the hospital. He has 2 issues with his heart. The first one is it is in atrial fibrulation. Which means his heart is skipping and missing beats. The second is his heart is weak. In which he may need a pace maker because his heart has the characteristics of someone 20 years older then him.. He is only 42...

Tomorrow morning they are going to do a procedure that is called cardiovert I believe... This is when they use the "pattles" and shock his heart until it gets its normal beating pattern working again. I believe they actually stop and start the heart to do this...


So I guess you can say I'm kinda stressed out....

But thats my story.., Thats whats been going on... Thats why MCL was canceled early weds morning...

If you can just say a lil prayer for my pops tomorrow it would really help... we are gunna need it... If he gets through the cardio a ok next in line is the pacemaker...

By the time our birthdays, (his and mine are a day apart), roll around next week I think I am gunna need a few drinks...

So anyways if I am suppsoed to get back to you for anything or if you need me for something I'll be in touch as soon as I can...
