Day 71

Day 71 This is my dad Herb or Happy Herbie. This is a great picture you can see his wrinkles in his forehead, which we always tell him to get the wrinkles out of his forehead. In this picture he is at one of his favorite spots, in his boat at Ditch Lake. Tomorrow my Dad has to go to the HSC for surgery. He has an aortic aneurysm. What is that you ask? This is the definition I found, to me it is so funny, it describes it like an OLD TIRE and what is inside it is layered like PLYWOOD. How fitting for my Dad.

What is an aortic aneurysm?

An aortic aneurysm involves the aorta, one of the large arteries through which blood passes from the heart to the rest of the body. The aorta bulges at the site of the aneurysm like a weak spot on an old worn tire.

What's inside an aortic aneurysm?

The inside walls of aneurysms are often lined with a laminated blood clot that is layered like a piece of plywood.


This is my Dad Herb or Happy Herbie he is 61.8 has a heart of gold, would give you the shirt off his back, loves his Grandkids (scares the crap out of them) and hairy grandkids, loves his 3 gorgeous daughters (we are gorgeous right?), love the lake (right Dad), has the best sense of humor, we laugh so hard we cry and is MY HERO!
Dad you are the strongest man I know you will be out of that hospital in no time wishing for the keys to your truck so you can go fishing! LOVE YOU DAD!
