Bypass Surgery?

I forget how long ago, maybe 10 years? He's still doing fine in that way but is in a memory place now.

Steve,

Thanks for the response. I'd imagine they prescribe some heavy duty stuff after open-heart surgery. My Old Man seems to be taking things well, which is surprising considering he normally he hates when he can't do things for himself. He's on bed rest until the surgery this Wednesday. I appreciate you chiming in.
