Good health habits solves a lot of problems and keeps the smell of the infirmary at bay. Kudos to your father for wisdom.
Some of us just naturally have bad health habits or suffer from some genetic malady requiring a close association with medical teams and hospitals. I shudder when I count the times I've been under the knife, but over-all, I have to give the doctors and medical profession excellent grades. T've had to call upon them more than twenty times in my 78 years to extend my lease on life. I still have a whole list of major medical problems that haven't been addressed as yet, but happy to say at this point even if they fail the next time, I've had more than my share of oxygen, good times, and have fulfilled my 'production quota.'
May God bless everyone in the health and medical fields and care givers, especially for the skillful hands of the surgeons.

best insurance policy you can buy!;)
I too am indebted to VA health professionals, and (more or less) worship the ground they walk on....just can’t make the same claim out in the ‘real’ world!
