15. Yikes! Glad Things Are Looking Up

Sat Feb 12, 2022, 01:17 PM

Feb 2022

My dad had one back when he was around 50, maybe a bit younger.
He had to have bypass because they thought the blockage was to bad for the balloon.
Went in for quad bypass, but they found he had an anomalous 5th artery. So, he had a QUINTUPLE bypass.
He was good until both diabetes & a liver disease he had as a little boy became too much.
Take car & glad you're back here.
