All best wishes for you and your dad. You are never dead until you stop breathing, and these days not always then! The old have seen it all and are very resilient. |

AW Girl from Oz...... loads of ((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))) for you and your dad.... I am sure that there will be something they can give him to help with his heart problem... and then an epidural or similar for the hip... I am sure that someone on the boards had an epidural for their hip surgery. |

One of my patients husband had the same trouble and is around the same age. They gave him medication for his heart and then he had the op. |

Of course you are upset and worried. he is your lovely Dad and 80 is not so old these days. Here is hoping that maybe they can sort his heart problem out and then do the op. Don't let him give up hope, miracles do happen. ((((((hugs)))))) for you and for him. |

Hi, so very sorry to hear about your lovely dad, back in the summer my mum had a fall and broke her hip then got a blood clot on the lung and the wonderful people on here got me through it, l really thought l was going to lose her but she got through it even though she has some other problems now but not connected to the fall. |

I'm sorry to hear this but it's amazing what elderly people can get through. I'll be sending lots of positive thoughts to you and your family. You'd be made very welcome on our Aussie thread. |

It's very hard for you at the moment, but if you could speak to his surgeon and ask what other options they will consider for the anaesthetic. |

Have they discussed an epidural + light sedation? That seems to be the a common alternative to a deep anesthetic. |

My mother-in-law needed surgery for a broken hip at age 87 and we were told her heart was very bad and she may not make it. She came through with flying colours. I hope your Dad goes ok also. |
