Update about My Father



Well, I've got good news and bad news.

The good news is, my father actually did NOT have a heart attack.  Due to the irregular heart beat he was showing and enzyme they found in his blood, they originally thought this was the case.

But after being transferred to a coronary specialist about 25 miles away, they determined there that he has a type of CAD - aka a coronary artery deficiency.  He inherited this from his father.  So that's the bad news.

Also, he'll have to take some type of medication to treat this heart condition as well, but you bet your arse that the next time I talk to him, I'm gonna make sure that he ALSO gets started on a regular exercise program and healthy eating plan...because he wasn't before...or at least not as often as he should.

Anyway, my mother picked him up from the hospital today and he is recovering just fine.

I want to thank everyone who sent their inspirational and heart-felt emails over the past couple days.  They really mean ALOT! 

If I didn't personally respond back to you, I apologize, been kinda out of it the past couple days.

I'll get back into the swing of things here shortly.
