He had to go get his heart checked again. Everything looks good for him. Him surviving his ruptured aneurism, which was about 4 inches iirc, they said he had less than 2% chance at surviving. He managed to pull through, but now he's a "celebrity" among the staff there. My mom said lots of doctors wanted to meet him, and they all talked about how impressive it is how well he's doing. At least it put him in a really good mood, but jeez, now he's being a diva about it lol. >_>
I would think if anyone deserves credit for his survival, it'd be the surgeon that actually saved his life.

Also, it's been suggested that my brother and I get checked for aneurysms too. Apparently they're often genetic. It's not comforting that my grandpa on my mom's side died of one too.

I know. I didn't know whether I should say anything, or just close it. I figured closing it with no explanation would be more rude though. At least I still have 1 that I'm spoiling.

There isn't really that much personal contribution to not bleeding to death while unconscious. His dad's also generally a scumbag, so I can understand not wanting to give him any unnecessary praise.

Eh, I can sort of see that. Still, all my dad did was be lucky, while the surgeon put in lots of time and effort to save him.

Also, if he ends up getting me killed just by pure genetics, I'm going to be pissed. Yes, I know how dumb that sounds, but you know what I mean.

Also, can you hook me up with his autograph?

Sure however recovery can be a mental strain too.

This is dumb. Your dad is a scumbag and you shouldn't let people argue otherwise. I stand by what I said when it was happening, it's a shame he didn't die.

Well, the patient's genetics and constitution might help there.

I'm not totally sure. I seriously doubt I would've been torn up over it, but y'know he is my dad. I kind of think things would've been better if he didn't make it. On the trip to Johnson City that day, I was expecting to get the call that he had passed, and really didn't feel much of anything then.

I kind of agree. I mean, I don't particularly want him to die, but it certainly would've solved quite a few issues.

Understandable. I'd feel nothing if I were told my mum was dead that's if she's even still alive so eh.

I'm probably a bit farther than it seems. He was flown to the heart specialist hospital there, it took me and my mom about 3 hours to drive there. Still not terribly far though.

And genetics isn't really something to congratulate somebody for. "Congratulations! Your parents' baby juices mixed in this specific manner!" Not much personal effort there.

What, you think being hospitalized with an aneurysm gives the guy a free pass for regularly threatening the lives of his children and abusing his wife? It was a contextually appropriate time to mention his scumbaggery, and the guy's unambiguously a scumbag. I'm not seeing the problem, particularly where Koga isn't objecting to it (for the record, if you do mind, Koga, say so, and I'll delete the post accordingly).

I figured, but in retrospect, it probably would have been more polite to clear it with you first. Ah well, no harm done, it seems.

You must've missed like 50 spread out over a couple years. lol
Anyway, he is a scumbag, he used to beat me and my mom, basically kept us prisoner at home, tried to kill me a few times, regularly cheats. The whole 9 yards of psychopath behavior, nothing matters to him except himself.

Well that's pretty crazy! Although JCMC is a pretty good hospital tbh, so not entirely surprising!

And I guess I'm... Happy your dad is okay? I dunno, man. Whatever emotion you feel over it, I'll feel that for ya, cause that's a pretty rough situation.

It's ok to be happy that he's doing good. I just wish I didn't have to deal with him still. I think they're finally heading for divorce, hopefully. So maybe I'll only have to see every once in a while.

Plus now he thinks he's some big shot or something because of it. It's weird, and annoying, but it's better than his usual demeanor.
