But I have a good reason

NONE of my blogs have been updated in a while. On Friday we went to my fathers house to pick up our new puppy, only to return home to the news that Hubs uncle D had passed away. He had no history of heart disease and had only , in the past six months, been diagnosed with high blood pressure which he had been treating with medication.

His daughter had driven down on Wednesday to spend his birthday with him, and had decided to stay on through the weekend so they could spend thanksgiving together. She had her three year old son with her.

On Friday morning, when her father did not answer her calls to breakfast, she entered his room and found him. He had had a massive heart attack in the night. His funeral will be Friday - Hubs has been asked to be a pallbearer, an honor he accepted readily.

This is a sad and scary time for our family right now. Sad because Uncle D was well loved, and scary because Hubs dad had a major heart attack 13 years ago this month. He had a quadruple bypass and is on approximately sixty million different drugs - some for high blood pressure, a lot for his heart - blood thinners and the like, and even more medicines to deal with the stroke he had eight years ago.

Uncle D is a year and a week younger than Hubs father, and was in almost perfect health! I worry about my father in law almost constantly, and this, well, this is my worst nightmare!

Posting will be slow, I need to get my feet back under me!
