My brother called a couple of days ago. He had to have an angiogram today and the result was going to be either a stint or bypass surgery. He's obviously not very old but he's got super high cholesterol and has already had a mild heart attack. Needless to say it's been a stressful few days. His wife just called and let us know that he's fine, they had to put in quite a large stint as the blockage was in a main artery. They also found some other blockages and he's under orders to get himself into shape and get the cholesterol down if he wants to avoid a bypass.

So their trip down to see us next Saturday is still on and my mom and I will be planning healthful menus for the week.

In other news I'm still trying to decide if I'm going to the midnight HP event at my local B&N.

Oh wow.. I'm glad your brother's fine.
He should be ok though.
As long as he starts a healthy exercising program.
But yeah.. you must be so relieved *hugs*

Sorry to hear about your brother -- but I'm glad to hear he was able to be stented rather than needing bypass.
