Thanks De!
IF the Lord lets me live ten more years I will be in my eighties. As will Ribs I assume as he is older than me..
That's not a bad life span for this world and is pretty much a normal one for males. My family has a documented history of longevity, living into their Nineties. In good health as well. My dad had a pace maker and acquired dementia in his early 70's which is why after my mother passed of kidney failure I became in charge of taking care of him.. He also had serious heart problems and required a pace maker to keep it going. At his age I refused to allow him to go thru a major open heart reconstructive surgery when the pacemaker was working perfectly fine. I had this talk with his cardiologist who was from India, and Dr Gupta was very kind and understood. He told me if it was his father he would do the same thing I decided to do. Let the pacemaker alone . Whenever it stops it stops. It stopped a couple years later. Dad was 94 years old with advanced dementia and a low level quality of life. He could not do anything by himself so I looked at this as him being far better off in Heaven and hopefully he saw my mom again, both with brand new bodies and not defects.. I hope so..
In the meantime, I am taking some meds that hopefully will help strengthen the heart muscle wall which Doc said was weak. Its pumping just fine now with the 4 new arteries he bypassed the old ones with. So we will see I suppose. I just know frm reading that people with this condition live on average ten years. Some more, some less. So it is in God's hands.. And I am at peace with that..
