Old Man with a Hat
THANKS DAD.
My dad passed away yesterday afternoon getting a medical procedure done on his heart. In hindsight I guess I should have been more concerned. He has been through a few of these angioplasties, so it seemed okay. Well apparently it was worse yet than we knew, he did that a lot.
Started a while back with cataract surgery, he of course put off. We just thought he was scared or stubborn. Doctor finally was threatening to pull his license.
This brings concerns about his cardiovascular health, a stress test and thus the procedure.
Hard to tell if he was really worried he never showed it and always played his hand close, just the way he was.
We did not share many common interests, except for observing, commenting, and complaining about the world around.
He was first to get a college education, his older brother (my uncle) had went to work in a steel mill then drafted then came back and got his degree.
He did a few semesters at law school but never finished, he probably would of made a good one being able to look at things for what they were and not how he felt.
The one thing he liked best was economics and accounting, always with a eye on the market, giving me some understanding of it.
He had his first angioplasty in 1990, a quadruple bypass in 2004, and survived a stroke in 2012. So I guess you could say his luck just ran out. He survived my mother by 19 years and his significant other for the last 10 or so years has gotten his cholesterol and bp down with diet and exercise so I thank her for that and she is a part of our family because of it. Sorry for the rambling it helped and thanks in advance to regulars and letting me be one.
