I am truly grateful
today for my Dad’s health. A week ago my
father was feeling symptoms of a heart attack and took himself to the hospital
near him. They reported that he had a
mild heart attack. Though my instinct
told me he was okay and was rather bothersome that he was there. He eventually moved to Boston where his
doctor was and they went in to see what the issue was. They went in and found that the blood was
flowing great and they felt they did not have to due open-heart surgery. That was good news #1 for me but not for my
dad. You see he wanted the symptoms he
was feeling to go away and he depended on them to fix it. I was pressing him to change his diet and
lifestyle to fix it himself.
I believe if you created the problem you should fix the
problem. But I also understand the fears
and worries he was going through and sometimes you need the doctor to
intervene. So the doctors were
struggling to figure out what was wrong with him. Well my father started to feel the symptoms
again as the doctor was in the room chatting with him. They quickly took his vitals to begin the
processes of figuring out what was causing him to feel this way. Low and behold he has significant low blood
pressure. This is not normal for a man
taking blood pressure medication for high blood pressure. They have lowered his medication and hope
that gets rid of the symptoms. They
discharged him but he is determined now to charge his diet and exercise more
and several of us are going to support him through this new life he is creating
for himself.
