well my family medical history has always been different, today doesnt change that

Posted by tRuMaN (aka Truman) Mar 24 '11, 18:23

my dad had two completely blocked arteries (last summer he supposedly had none, that doctor maybe in trouble).

one had grown a new artery to replace the blocked one. the other was trying to, but the blockage was too long.

he seems to be doing ok, will be in icu until tomorrow morning. my mom is burnt, hopefully she will sleep some. i might be going to colorado early next month to help her move the rv.

- Amazing isn't it? My Dad's were doing the same thing. Also my dentist says your tooth root will try to calcify if you have a cavity. - Bacon Mar 24, 18:36
