I have had some trouble over the last day or so wondering why the crotchety types always seem to out live the warm hearted kind ones. Is it that they use up more life by sharing their love with the world while the heartless hoard their feeling and keep carrying on? How is it possible that a man who has lived a good life, taken good care of his body, eaten healthy, loved his wife and kids is left to suffer with terrible heart problems while a man who smokes three packs of cigarettes a day, never worked out a day in his life and is a total train wreck can have a devastating heart attack and basically walk away from it? It totally boggles my mind, and it just seems totally unfair. Stupid genetics, saving those that are a total waste of space and taking away other far too soon. I guess piss and vinegar is proven yet again as the better gas in the human engine then good old fashioned compassion and love. I'm so sorry to hear that your dad isn't doing as well as you had hoped Tammy, and I hope that he has a speedy recovery and is back to his old self as soon as possible. You are such an inspiration, always something positive to say even though the situation really, really sucks.

Her whole family has been kept positive but there was also a lot of crying and preparing for the worst.
But things have turned out for the best. We just got word that he will be going home today. :) I'm sure he'll be much happier recovering at home rather than in a hospital bed.
Its so amazing how a few days can make such a difference. My dad is now wanting to get better so he can resume his "coffee meeting of the old guys" club. That is a great sign.
I agree with you on your piss and vinegar comment, I have some old uncles like that who shouldn't be alive still. Although having said that, no one likes them much, they are miserable and not nice people.
My dad on the other hand had tons of people phoning to see how he was, people visiting, people that were quite distressed when he wasn't doing well. So that is the direct benefit of being a great guy! You may not live the longest life but you will have the better life in the years your around : )
I"m so happy to hear that your dad is getting better, I had trouble going to sleep last night just thinking how unfair it was. Here is hoping that he is back to his "guys club" and coffee is still on the allowable menu for him!
