Well Lucky today's June 14th and tomorrow your Dad heads up north. Three days 'till he gets his ticker fixed. I hope you and your Mom and Dad aren't complete nervous wrecks yet. Best of luck to you all.

Just had a short word with my mum... The operation will take about 4 hours, not counting getting all the tools together as she said. When done they'll tie everything up with steel wire and he'll not be allowed to lift anything heavier than a carton of milk about 1 kilogram....for a few months.

STEEL WIRE!!!! DAM!! That's got to be rough. I can see why he isn't allowed to lift anything. Sounds like you'll be on "gopher duty" for quite some time Lucky. Again Good luck to you and your parents.

Well, his one of a kind, not just a father, but a dad and a best friend...just what I want to be, should it ever happen...

I'm off to try to get some sleep now, if possible. I'll let you all know how it went as soon as I hear from my mom...

Thanks once again brothers, you're all unique, one of as kind and the best there is...even if my life would depend on it, I could never say a bad word about anyone of you...well, there's one thing, you're all too bl**dy far away for a good BBQ!!

The operation went well, without any complications whatsoever. They also only had the change one of his heart valves to a mechanical one. He's now connected to one of those breathing machines.....can't remember what they're called right now... So, so far so good...!

ALL DRINKS AND FOOD ON ME!!!!



THANK YOU ALL! YOU'RE THE BEST!!
