Hi,
I am going out of my mind with worry about my dad who is currently in hospital after having a heart attack. He has to have heart bypass surgery at Southampton and is waiting for a slot to become available.
I am so, so close to my dad and the worry of all this is eating me up. I have been comforted by people I know telling my stories of relatives that have had the surgery and are now ok but the fear is almost paralysing. I can't eat or sleep, I am shaking all the time and I just don't know what to do with myself.
My dad is 80 but has always been very active for his age. He has been helping my do up my house for the last 2 years and has done all the diy with me.
My brother has been on the nhs website and told me that the success rate for the op is very high so I just keep thinking of thst and telling myself to calm down.
im just looking for any comforting words from others who have been in my position to help me get through this. Thank you
