LOL. after spending the day with my dad I feel older then he is:) He's 75. His body is like a road map he has had so many surgeries. We always expected for him to die first as he was always having things wrong, was over weight. My mother was always very heath concious. She died 15 years ago.

My dad has had a lung removed a kidney removed, both shoulders operated on one twice, both hips replaced one twice, 3 hernia operations, hemroid operation:), baloone heart surgery. He plays golf 3 X's a week and worked in the Golf Pro shop till about a month ago.

Him and his wife went on an Alaskan Cruise last year, one of his hips pop out of joint, they had to fly him to shore for an operation, he was back on the boat that next night. He'll probably put us in our graves. Altho he is very active he's really not in that great of health tho. He only wears me out because he's always got something to gripe at me about. This time it was because I haven't sent him a picture of JP. He wants one in the mail. I've e-mailed him tons of them, but he wants on in the mail. Oh well, I guess he's entitled to his little whims:)

Isn't it something the way that works out? Your mom and dad sound like mine.... My dad smokes and everything, he's still here, but my mom was a lot better and tried to be healthy, and she got cancer at 58.

Yes, your dad will have his whims.... an email picture isn't really a picture unless it's on paper ;~D
