Former President Bush had heart surgery this morning to implant a stent
and circumvent a blocked artery. He's doing well.

This is not President Bush the elder, but "Dubya."

He's supposed to return home tomorrow. Let's hope he has a good recovery.

Amazing, since Dubya is a known "exerciser," and it just proves that no
matter how you live your life, this sort of physical crap can hit you.

Right after he finished a run. Not a great sales job for running if you are going to die in
"middle" age.

I am glad my surgery this morning was only for a cataract. Good luck to
Bush in his recovery.

I think some people are just predisposed to heart attacks. I had a
good friend in his early 50's who exercised, ate right, and ran at
least 5 miles a day.
He was in apparent excellent health until we received a phone call
from his wife one morning. He had a massive heart attack in the
middle of the night and was gone in a matter of minutes.

True. I wish him the best.

It is fairly well understood that some people are genetically
predisposed to very high cholesterol levels. If not detected and
treated at an early age, they are very prone to early heart attacks.

How did the cataract surgery go. My ophthalmologist tells me I have a cataract in one eye, but that
it's not bad enough for an operation yet. I'm wondering how bad it has to get.

Piece of cake. You have to decide if you want a distance lens or up close
reading lens. I went the distance so I can drive Better at night. Was
getting hazy, reflective lights. Surgery only takes about 20 minutes, but
couple hours total.

Oh. I didn't know about the 'choice' bit. Not sure what I'd want. Guess I'll wait a while. Thanks
for the reply.
