What Should Be The Decision

Still back to the topic about my dad, default already scheduled for him to go thru bypass surgery on Monday. My father having 2 blood vessels that being narrowed/blocked. 1 is almost fully blocked, this vessel already being put on balloons in past 6 years, but now the vessel blocked again. While another vessel is blocked by 50%.

Bypassed surgery is scheduled on Monday to save both vessels, however, during Friday, my father having heart attack. This time of of heart attack mainly caused by the 2nd blocked vessel, and he can considered lucky, cause during his heart attack, he is still admit in the hospital, within an hour, doctor used Angioplasty method to save him. This method is used balloons to widened the narrowed blood vessel. However, this method no longer can be used for the 1st blocked vessel. But during Friday, he unable go thru immediate bypass surgery due to the surgeon is on operation during that time.

After go thru Angioplasty, my father become weakened. No more bypassed surgery can be done in short term, although the surgeon said can be start to do the surgeon after 10 days time. But the heart specialist not recommend for it. He ask my father to rest for 1 month and see. After he went thru Angioplasty, he went thru twice dialysis. 1st dialysis is a slow one and 2nd dialysis is the normal speed one. But during both dialysis, my father feel breathless, and need oxygen to support him. Due to this reason, we requested hospital to temporarily allowed him having dialysis at hospital. Today would be his 3rd time having dialysis, luckily with slower speed, he feel better, and no breathless. Now he already discharged from hospital, rest well dad... :)

But now, come to the question for his first blocked vessel. After discharged from hospital, my father said he feel not confident to go thru this bypassed surgery. I understand what he is thinking. Bypassed surgery is higher risk and need longer time to recover. I also don't know whether want him to go thru this surgery or not. Should we let him go thru this surgery? Or let him take the medicine for control? Which one is the right decision to make? At this moment, i hope that Doreamon is besides me, to help me to make the decision.
