Pill Poppin

So Dad's heart attacked him. It ended up not being very serious, but non-the-less, whenever its the heart its always serious. Dad ended up spending just two days in the hospital and was released yesterday p.m. with a fixed heart. Note to all who know dad or don't know him well, two days in the hospital was two days too long.

In the end he was told he has a heart full of large and very open veins. The docs saw nothing unusual and with that nothing to be concerned about. He does, however, have to watch what he eats. The menues are going to change which means the homecookin meals will taste a bit different.

What I really learned from all of this is that I'm either getting older or my parents are getting older. My dad was sent home with some lovely, cow size pills and he will be popping them probably for the rest of his life. This morning I saw two pill organizers that I always thought were for old people. Yikes...am I or are my parents getting old?


Hope life is finding you greatfull!
