BTW..Hopkins is a superb institution..
I’m quite aware of that. ;-)
Dad is 77.
There is much background to this, but I am wordy as it is and didn’t want to belabor it.
The spine may be a complicating factor, as is his past very bad leg embolism (currently on Pradaxa, too). It gets me quite nervous.
I haven’t had time to post or even get too worried about it because it happened so fast. We expected something, but I didn’t know anything was going to happen until we got back last week from vacation (they didn’t tell us while away) - and that was “just” a stenth-type angioplasty Monday. They pulled out and said it was too bad and needs to come in today (or maybe not - see other comment).
