Well I just found out this evening that my father may or may not have had a heart attack? My family is hoping this is not the case...he had a similar episode 5-6 yrs ago which turned out only being his esophogus (spelling?) going into spasm. I guess this feels very much like a heart attack. Anyways it turns out he's also been hiding the fact from us that he has diabetes! So I'm currently trying to keep an open mind without freaking out here (it's so hard!!) & am leaving to go see him tomorrow (it's about a 3.5 hr drive) I just feel so SICK! He needs to do many life changes like quit smoking, eating less, excercise. How do you make a grown 47 yr old man stubborn as a stump do this?! So yeah any good energy his way would be much appreciated...& some calming energy for me! It's so strange how I've just found this website & pretty much know no-one yet but feel compelled to spill my guts? I guess everyone needs a little outside support sometime huh? :goodgrief Thanks for listening & I'll keep anyone who's read this posted....
