Well, Mary and I are sitting at dad's bedside, watching him eat lunch. He just finished lunch after his cardiac cath. Turns out there is nothing wrong with him and he is a faker! His Cholesterol was in the 160's despite his two-butter-tub-a-week habit and his blood pressure was a fantastic 119 over 5 with a resting pulse of 62. The man is more healthy than my mother!!!
No blockages to report though he does have one artery that is twisty and curvy and that might have been the reason he has his stress test issues. (He only lasted 2 minutes before they shut him down.) But they report that he has absolutely no blockages what-so-ever.
So, despite his COPD and only having 70% of his lung ability (which the respiratory guy told him was great for a fat-old-man) he is 100% healthy. So my question is, why isn't he taking care of my mother who's cholesterol was 100 points more!!!!! Looks like dad is going to be cooking and cleaning now!!! HA ha...oh, I slay me...that's a really good one!!! Whoooo....I'm a riot!!!! Little Stu the Pooh in a French Maid outfit!!! Ha ha....good thing it's Halloween!! Mom reports that Jeff and I need to take very good care of HER!
Well, dad will be back to living the "good life" as he just said to his roommate! Mary will return to Florida, as planned, on November 4th, after my fabulous cousin Melyssa's wedding. Good thing we won't need to use dad's new suit coat at his funeral and he and mom can cut a rug this weekend in celebration! Dad goes to Florida the Monday before Thanksgiving.
Thank you for all your good wishes! The good thoughts and prayers really came through!
