made for a rather busy night for Dad and I.
He phoned me aroung 8 pm, said he was having trouble breathing. I said "push you alert button and I'll be right there."
Staff were with him 30 seconds after he pushed the button, called the EMTs, and off we went to the hospital. They gave him nitro, and decided to keep him overnight (he was rather grumpy about that).
They may keep him another day or so, as there was a lot of fluid in his lungs.
Good thoughts are very welcome

Best wishes heading north.
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

Re: CHF and Pulmonary Edema
So Dad has decided that he will have the angiograph, and hope that it works. He doesn't want any other interventions though.
I have not been able to contact my brother at all.
