Dad, almost 93, being referred to cardiologist

Was having symptoms that necessitated an echocardiogram, which is showing that his heart is only functioning at 25%.

I don't see him every day anymore. He's down in CT w/ my brother.

Would sure love to head down there tonight and watch a Red Sox game with him.

Am I supposed to feel glad to know this, or is it okay to wish that I didn't know?

His cardiologist should have some ideas.

There is a lot going on. Personally, I wanted to know everything about my Dad during his later years. I want to know everything that is currently going on with me Mum. Sometimes the information causes worry and strife. I’m usually great full to know. I’m sorry your Dad is having these issues

Not much you can do except be there. I’d go.
