I was born with a bad heart.....buried LAD and HIS bundle abnormalities
Graves’ disease
Empty Sella syndrome
Two open heart surgeries and a Medtronics demand pacemaker
Pins galore in body from motorcycle wreck(s)
Scar tissue in lungs resulting in about 70% volume
Pumping coefficient 45% which is actually good considering
Pretty steady atrial jumping around beats pvcs and some flutter
Sometimes the end of the world sounds damn good
At least me and my large family could all go together ....when I check out my family will have a terrible time of it...not financially but leadership and security wise...unless I can hold on at Gods will till my boys have more maturity then they can care for their mom and weather me suddenly gone from their lives
Any parent here middle aged with small kids knows what I mean
But what the hell....I love life...I truly do....especially a woman and kids and seeing the world....the American west though I’m a devoted southron
With 9 dependants and zillions in mortgages everywhere I don’t have time to ponder a lot which is why I usually post at 3am
I am on the go twice what most men half my age do and at almost 58 I still chase my 50 year old old lady around like she’s still 30
You gotta run with it...don’t self obsess and all that crap
When I was young most men were like me....they didn’t quit and they weren’t less masculine than their women
If the end of the world comes it’ll be Gods favor but for now I live everyday for all I can
I suggest we all do
I dread being old and infirm and mentally out of it
May the end of the world come first ....at least my world
(Speech over)
End of the world?
Not yet....Christians gonna have to get their balls back and destroy Satans emissaries here first ....don’t doubt me

Your story is both impressive and inspiring. You are their Rock of Gibraltar. Cue Paul Simon’s song “I am a rock”.
Someone will set up to the plate in your absence. They may not yet know their own inner strength, and will not until they have to know.
There’s only so much I’ll say on a public forum to you or about you because I don’t want to embarrass you or dare to make you blush.
Yes, you’re a medical mess, and if part of that was God’s original doing, He sure made up for those ‘fixable’ maladies with the brain and goodness in the heart He gave you. You are a GOOD Christian MAN in every sense of those words: a totally devoted, loving, respectful husband, father and, I’ll add son, because, occasionally you will write about your upbringing and your respect for your parents, their wonderful influences and the beauty titles your mom held.
You are the family man every child deserves.
God bless and keep you, dearest wardaddy and your beautiful family.
