Heart surgery scheduled for my dad

[pegkerr]

He's having a pacemaker put in on October 16. We hope this will help ease some of the heart symptoms he's been having in the past year.

Still, my dad's eighty this year. And surgery like this is no stroll in the park.

I wish we lived closer so I could help my mom. They live in Georgia, and none of us are close by. My sisters are both here in Minneapolis, and my brother lives in New York.

Take heart

My partner's mom had a new heart valve and then a pacemaker installed at 79 (the tinkering with the heart for the valve screwed up the natural pacer...)

She's going to be 95 real soon now, and aside from having to get a new pacemaker (leads are still good), is the Energizer Bunny.

Prayers and best wishes going his way and for you too.

That's quite encouraging, thank you!
