Good luck to Nicola's dad. Had the same operation 3 months ago and was out 6 days later.

Dictators who positively go out of their way to force misery, tears and fears, upon their countryman's lives.
Politicians who, in dealing with dictators, have a wishbone where a backbone should be.
Look at all the replies, what a lovely bunch of caring and considerate members in Diabetes uk.
I take my hat off to everyone.

NicolaB70, your dad, your family and you, are in my thoughts and prayers.

Here's to a speedy recovery for your dad.


God bless.

willie.

Crowds of people, my idea of hell would be a huge gathering of any sort!

Heights, scare me to death!
Liars, cheats. poseurs, any kind of violence, thieves and people who take advantage of others.

The way the world is going to hell in a handbasket.

Global warming, the melting ice caps, whaling..I mean what for?!

Cruelty

Having to give up my eat everything philosophy..and I really really dislike consequences.
Hi Nicola, I have just found this thread and am guessing that the op is underway or may even be over. I know you must be feeling anxious love but hang in there, I am sure your dear Dad will come through this and be all the better afterwards. After all, he has you for support :)

I would like to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for the lovely kind words of support and best wishes. It really has meant a lot, thank you again.
My dad came out of surgery at lunchtime and was on a ventilater being monitored in recovery. All had gone well and to plan. As of an hour ago, he's been taken off of ventilater, is awake in a stable condition but in pain and doing well. Nurses are keeping on top of the pain relief for him. Hopefully will be moved to HDU tomorrow all being well and good.
I think I'm going to treat myself to a large glass of wine as it's been a long stressful worrying day. Thank you once again for your support for my dad, myself and my family.
Love Nicola

For my dad. He's in hospital and within the next hour will be going down to theatre for a triple heart bypass. I'm obviously feeling anxious and worried so if you could join me in wishing him a successful op and speedy recovery.

Just a quick update. My dad is doing well, doctors are pleased with with his recovery. He has been moved to HDU and hopefully will be moved to a ward today if there's a bed available. They've had him out of bed sitting in a chair yesterday. All lines are being taken out today and they are going to get him up walking. The only problem he has, is he has no appetite and hasn't eaten yet. I haven't been able to visit him yet but I'm going today so at least that will put my mind at ease. Thank you again for call your best wishes
