Ted Kennedy and my Dad

I wanted to make sure y'all understand that my dad doesn't not have a brain tumor,

Initially the news was that Ted K. suffered a seizure due to blockage in his carotid arteries (like my dad)





Sounds like my father and Ted Kennedy have something in common. Exactly the same happened to each guy.

Amazing!

Do you mean with their hearts, or their families killed off?
How is your father faring I wonder?

Yes, same problem, both had seisure, not a stroke or TRI, both have clogged caretid arteries. Although Ted had surgery on that a while back, the kind of surgery they don't recommend for Dad.Carotid endarterectomy .
As far as I know he's doing well. He's got the car up for sale (Anyone need a 1980s Mitsubishi?) and is now having to use his motorized chair. Apparently the hormone treatment for his prostate cancer affects his walking/standing.
