Rhino Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 I haven't been around much lately. As some of you know my mother had open heart surgury on Sept. 8th. She's continuing to impove. On Sept. 17th my father had a stroke. I was off to south Louisiana after that. Fortunately it was a minor stroke caused by blood clots from an irregular heart beat. They kept him in the hospital for 3 days. With both of them recovering it was up to my brother and I to look after them. He lives in Atlanta and I'm 3 hours away so I had the 1st round with my brother relieving me on Sept. 28th. That allowed me to hunt the first 4 days of our bow season. I headed back Tuesday morning. Yesterday the doctor gave them both the go to drive again. My father got the go ahead to do whatever he wants but he'll be on blood thinner meds the rest of this life. My mother's recovery will obviously take longer but she is doing very well now too. She has the go ahead to attend the Saints next home game. Since their improvement allows them to take care of themselves again they sent me home to start getting back into my own routine again. Just thought I'd give y'all a heads up why I've been away from here for the past few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruttinbuc Posted October 7, 2010 Report Share Posted October 7, 2010 All of this stuff is minor in the big scheme of things, Al. Most important to be there for your family in tough situations. Most assured that your parents are ever so grateful to you and your brother as we are for looking after them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
