Good Thoughts, etc.

[Casey1300]

Gang,

I try to keep my private life mostly that, but I'm worried enough that I'll take any help I can get. I just found out last night that my youngest brother (15) is going in for surgery today -- he broke his leg pretty badly this weekend and my dad (64) is going in for angioplasty tomorrow. Obviously, I'm more worried about my dad - a 90% arterial blockage is no small thing, but I'm scared for both boys.

Any good thoughts or other forms of magical thinking you can spare are appreciated. My parents moved far away, so I can't spend the day with my mom, supporting her, like I'd like to. Good thoughts and distant support are about all I can offer at this point.

Thanks and thanks for reading.

My grandfather has had the same operation done and he has been fine for almost 10 years. I think he had to get it re-done at one point but he was still healthy. I think he is almost 90 now. Hope that helps.
