I'm sitting here thinking what can I wright about? And after a while a little message come to me, tell the world how lucky I am.
Where do I start? Well my Father died of a Heart attack on his 43rd birthday in 1953 (Year of 1st Triple Bypass). I had a Triple Bypass in Feb 2002 age 62. Now I am a couple of weeks away from 77, and not had a smidgeon of pain in my chest 15 years latter, 43 years longer than my Father. We sure are lucky that we have the modern Medical Science to keep us going. I am sure there must be a lot of good stories like mine out there.
Yeh Tony, you have to look on the bright side. For the last 11 months I have been thinking to my self that I am 77. Then the other day my Darling happened to mention that I am 3 years away from 80. WOW the penny dropped, but I don't care as long as it continues to be good fun.
Hi Aussie
My Dad had a quadruple bypass aged 69. He was 91 in November, had a pacemaker fitted in May last year and is still going well - passed his driving check-up with his GP a couple of weeks ago. You have a lot to look forward too in many more good years
cheers, Kay

Yes Kay, we are lucky to be living today, with the advantage of Modern Medical Science. Your Dad has given me a target now as my Grandfather on Mum's side made 96 and still had a pipe in his mouth when he went. I stopped smoking on 15th June 2000, 18 months before my Triple and after 45 years nonstop smoking, so life is definitely a Lottery. Tell your Dad he has a challenge.
Count yourself very lucky Aussie, my hubby had a heart attack 36 hours prior to bypass surgery, he was only 61, it's made me wake up and really live each day and starting this year I'm going to start really exploring this country.
