My dad's in hospital

Some oof yous will already know this, but my dad had a heart attack on Sunday so he's been in hospital since then, having tests and stuff. Me and my mum have been in to visit him a bit and he seems fairly well, but pretty annoyed that he's not going to be able to go home for a while. This morning we found out that he's going to have to have open heart surgery so that they can do a triple bypass (so his blood can get around a big clot in his heart). We don't know yet when that'll be, but he'll be moved to another hospital near where I live (close for me, but a long way for Mum), and he'll have to stay there for about a week, and then have another six weeks off work.

Sounds fairly serious :( Hope it all goes well...

Yeah, but luckily there wasn't a lot of damage to his heart.

He's really growing apple seeds in hospital?

I asked him about them yesterday and he said they'd made him chuck them out.

They reckon now that Dad'll probably be going in for the operation by the middle of the week.

Dad got moved last night to the hospital where he's having the operation, because he was meant to be having it this morning. Now they're saying maybe tomorrow, because they had to do some urgent heart transplants today.
Anyway, Dad's been having adventures climbing out windows to pick cumquats and and concerning his family.
