hey sexy baby...

yes... dad has had a bad blood disease for about a year now... transfusions every month... well.. in the last week.. he's up to 2 transfusions a month....and he's now developed congestive heart failure..... the hematologist... is predicting leukemia any week now... his blood is JUST above the rating for full blown blood cancer.

now... his heart is showing the abuse of 2 years of transfusions.... extreme iron deposits on aortic valve has rendered his heart only at a mere 25%.... we all knew it was coming... but he just took a major step down.

i'm ok with this... at 79 ... he has outlived my mother by almost 10 years and seems to roll with the punches pretty well....

it's just hard to deal with everything that surrounds this whole thing... my brothers (much older than i... by 15 years) allthink i'm a complete goof and a still the baby of the family. what a drag.

I *did* have a good holiday...did you?
