(Updated)
I’ve used the word angioplasty 5 times in this blog. Not in it’s original meaning, but referring to the term Business Process Angioplasty coined by Vinnie Mirchandani.
Perhaps it was bad Karma, now we have the real thing in the family. After what appeared to be a routine test, my Dad was found in need of immediate angioplasty. It did not help, apparently there is too much blockage, so he will have a Coronary Bypass this Thursday. I’m with him this week (literally every minute, as interpreter, since he does not speak English) – so I’ll likely be off-blog for a while.
Update (10/29): Wow, I’m really moved by all the comments and countless email I’ve received from my friends – a big THANK YOU to all.
My Dad is back home, recovering after a successful surgery, and I’ll be back to blogging soon.
Thanks again
