Later this morning we will be visiting my husband's uncle. He was just discharged from the hospital.
He had stomach pain and was diagnosed to have gallstones. Of course again, before operation he needs cardio clearance. But the thing there is that he has 4 blockage in arteries near his heart. It was recommended a few months ago that he needs to undergo a quadruple bypass which he does not like because the doctor need to open him up.
To cut the story a bit shorter, there was no gallstones removed but he was given medication. On the other hand, he underwent angioplasty for two blockage and he will undergo for another one three months after for the two more.
So we will see him late. He is 74 years old.
