He is always available when somebody needs him, and usually looks after all the neighbours’ gardens and houses when they are away. He drives around every week for his mother, who lives nearby. On Thursday he was planting flowers at her house - and his house - before he had to leave for the afternoon to drive the kids around. After that he felt extremely bad, with a chest pain.
They identified hiatus hernia on Saturday, but had to confirm it with more tests...
Today he had two stents implanted in the veins near his heart! It was caught just in time! Totally unexpected!
Very scary indeed! Nothing that brings you close-up with mortality more than this! The heart [not attack] scare!
We hope you feel better very soon, Dad!
Mieka loves it when she sees him at the day care. He has to carry her around. Or swing (“swee-swee”) her to her heart’s delight on the swings! She sometimes gets very upset when he has to put her down to do his rounds!
“Oupa! OOU-PAAA!!” (Grandfather) sounds so cute when coming from the toddler’s lips! Every Time!
