its not too bad, but if i wasnt there when he collapsed and started to siezure, he would have died.

ok since its 1am and im still up i'll give you the story

it was my brother's 18th and me and my dad took him to F1 Boston (big pro kart race track thing) and when we were there my dad was complaining about chest pains. now before i get any farther, my dad has had a stint put in before because of a clot in his valve that was 98% clotted. anywho, we finished 2 races and he started having chest pains but was too stubborn to say anything. he went to the bathroom and thats when it happend, he later said that he knew he was having the heart attack and tried to get to the front desk to tell them to call 911 but blacked out. He walked over to the bar where i was and put his head on the table, tell me that he didnt feel well, after that he passed out, collapsed, and went into a seizure, I ended up having to keep his head elevated slightly so he didnt choke on his own tongue. After about 15 seconds the seizure stopped and 2 minutes later he came to, not knowing who he was or where, not even me, then almost instantly he grabbed his chest and started yelling about a huge pain in his chest. we called 911 and within 15 mins he was at the hosptial.

What the doctor told me was that the stint that he has already in his heart clogged 100% and his lower ventrical valve (or whatever its called) clogged from pieces of that same clot, so they put another stint in his heart. he's staying at the hospital til at least wed., maybe longer, and I am going to be the one to come to him if he needs someone, or at least, i volunteered, hence why i took off the next 2 days from work.

I'll keep you guys posted, til then I'll be back later this week.

Yo man, so sorry to hear. But I hope he gets better real soon. He's lucky to have you as a son.

thanks, he's alright now, stubborn bastard wants to go work on the race car this weekend when they do testing, he's the transmission/clutch specialist for the funny car team, just taught my older brother how to grind the new clutch plates and assemble everything the day before the incident. the crew chief said that if he hears him start to work on the tranny he's beating him with the 16 oz. mallet he keeps with him XD
