Subject: Re: Family Illness by bogus on 2010/1/14 19:39:40 All the best to your Dad. I know how stressful it can be to have an ill parent... very! Remember - take your own advise, take care of yourself! If you get sick right now, that won't help anyone! I am glad it was minor; and yes, these are blessings in disguise. A co-worker (this is over 15 years ago) had a SEVERE heart attack. He was all of about 42 or so. Darryl was a smoker and a drinker and ate anything that moved... was overweight and didn't seem to care to change. He had this heart attack and it really messed him up. He survived, but at a high price. His heart was damaged and he was placed on a transplant list. He lost a ton of weight, quit smoking and drinking, ate healthier and got into something that resembled shape. About 3 years after, he had another attack... and all recourses were gone. He died. He was 46. So yes, this is a blessing. Matt's Dad had a wake up call and will be fine from it... |
