    Hmmm......he might have to negotiate with me for that one. I like it too much! LOL

    Thank you all so, so much.

    Gingerale, I'll keep you and your Dad in my prayers.
    Riding with your Dad sounds like a wonderful way to connect. I wish I'd had the chance to ride with my Dad.

    Let your dad know that there are plenty of people that continue riding after having cardiac conditions treated. Just make sure his cardiologist knows he is an active person and he wants to continue to be so. They are so used to seeing couch potatoes, sometimes they don't know what to do with patients who actually lead the lifestyle they recommend.
    Good luck!

    Gingerale, I'm going to pray for good results. I'm glad that you and your father are bonding again. I'm hoping for all the best for you both.
    I lost my dad to a heart attack young and wish I would've had the time to bond as adults... it's such an important and special relationship; father and daughter.

    Sending good thoughts your dad's way. Hope everything turns out well.
    Several years ago my dad, who'd never been sick that I can ever recall, was diagnosed with a heart problem. He wasn't feeling sick then either. It came up during a routine work physical. He ended up having surgery and now he's just as active as ever.

    Even Chloe is concentrating very hard that all goes well.

    More good thoughts from a fellow texan - I know it's difficult to be waiting on news.

    Thank you all so much. I just found out his test is on Tuesday. He still doesn't know that I know what it's for, exactly. He's being all nonchalant..."Oh, it's nothing. Just have to get a test done to get cleared for this arthroscopic surgery." Men. I just told them to call me when they go and let me know what they say.

    So now it's the waiting game. Your understanding, prayers, and support are really appreciated.
