Sorry I haven't posted much lately. Since San Antonio hasn't been much to report.
That changed a bit this week. I learned earlier this week that my father would be needing triple or quadruple bypass surgery on his heart. Keep in mind, Dad is 78 years old, and is in real good shape for his age. I am told the doctor said Dad's heart is as strong as a horse, but the arteries are of course the issue here. One is completely blocked, and three others are 80% blocked. Dad was having some tightness in the chest that clued him in to the problem.
Of course, heart disease isn't uncommon. This type of surgery is done everyday. Both my Uncles on my mother's side have had heart surgery. High cholestrerol is common in my family. However, the family eats very healthy diets, and remains active, so Dad has made it 78 years without a problem, beating the family trend. I hope I'm in as good as shape as he is when I make it to 78.
He goes in for surgery on Friday, keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
