My Dad was taken to hospital last night. :eek:
He is in intensive care in Longreach & will be transfered to Brisbane for further tests today.
It looks like it is his heart.
He has no pain but has a shortage of breath & the tests so far say that he has an irregular heart beat.
They like to give you a bit of a scare every now and then to keep you on your toes.
Hope it all turns out OK, Cliff.
He's in the best place Cliff, get it all checked out and get rid of any worries. Much better than just ignoring it all. Best of luck for him mate.
Hope all turns out for the best Cliff
Thinking of you & your old man, mate.
Dad left for Brisbane about 10.30 am with Flying Dr....
Stable at present. May have artery problems.
Don't know how long he'll be there.
Best wishes for you and your dad Cliff, I hope he gets well soon.
Can you get away to go see him Cliff?
Hope he is OK mate.
My best wishes to you and the family mate. Hope it turns out for the best. As has been said, he's in the best of care.
Goodluck with your Dad Cliff, the medicos seem to be able to do some pretty amazing things these days.
John
Best wishes Cliff, for you and your dad. I hope everything turns out well.
Take care!
All the best Cliffy. Thinking of you and your dad.
The old man is in my thoughts. Hope all turns out ok.
Pete

Yeap, but waiting to find out what is going to happen first.Quote:

You and your dad are in my thoughts - good luck
Cliff good luck. The docs are pretty good about these things now days. Just tell him to make sure it isnt the pretty nurse taking his pulse, tends to give a false reading;):D:D
Best of luck with it Cliff. Hope it works out ok
Cliff,
Lets hope its nothing too serious & your father pulls thru OK.
Cheers,
Keith
best wishes mate, although its probably not needed as the FNQld'ers are pretty tough.
One of my uncles had a triple bypass 2 years ago, and was up and walking on the 3rd day.... its amazing what the docs can do.
Hope your Dad comes out of this OK Cliff, and that it's soon that he is up and about with his family.
Cheers:) wish all good things for you and your family.
Cliff,
If ya need a place to stay you can always get a room here if ya need it!!!!
I hope he comes through unscathed. Our thoughts are with you & family.
Thinking of you Cliff, be strong.
Regards,
Rob
Cliff,
My thoughts are with you and your dad. It's tough I know, but we're all behind you.
All the best for your Dad Cliff. Let us know if and when you do come down.
OK, so far so good, he is improving but still short of breath.
Looks like it was what they call a silent heart attack 'cos there was no pain, just very hard to breath.
He is in hospital for at least 5 days & has to have some more tests before they decide what they are going to do with him.
He has plenty of family & support down there so I won't be going unless things start to go down hill but it looks 'safe' for now.
Cliff,
hope all goes well, good to hear that he is improving. Hope all goes well,
Mick
Cliff,

Mick
Great news for you and yours Cliff. He will be back hoime and you can go over have a chinwag and just spend some quality time enjoying his company.
Glad things are on the up mate..
Pete
Hope all goes well Cliff. Fixing hearts is pretty routine today. I had the same experience and they replaced 4 of my arteries and out of hospital in a week.
Not that simple.... :oQuote:

I reckon he was scared that he had lung cancer 'cos he has been a smoker for about 60 years & gave up cold turkey 4 weeks ago...:eek: he knew something was wrong.:cool:
Hi Cliff,
My fingers have been crossed, as have many others on the forums. Hope your next lot of news is more good news.
Cheers
Wendy
G'day Cliff,
Just found this thread and am glad to hear he's on the mend. Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Planes get there pretty quick these days and you can do the round trip in a day....
At least you will spend some time on the dog and bone with him.
Pete
Not Cairns-Longreach you can't, unless you charter one & I don't have that kind of money.Quote:

Sorry not to have seen this earlier, Cliff.
Glad things are heading in the right direction. All the best, mate.
Interesting what you said about him giving up smoking four weeks ago. Bet you wonder if he had some inkling something was not right, but did not want to bother anyone?
