Well, we just found out last night that my boyfriend's father needs triple bypass surgery on his heart or he could die. The poor man is scared to death of dying on the operating table and today is his birthday so all he really wants to do is come home and not have the surgery. I had to talk to him last night to convince him that NEEDS to have the surgery. He is 68 years old today and is not very happy. All he talks about is it being his life and his choice to not have the surgery. It took a long conversation to tell him otherwise. I am not 100% convinced that he will actually go through with it.

We are pretty scared too about the prospect of complications and of him not making it through the surgery. This is so hard to deal with right now. I just can't believe how stubborn this older man is. We love him dearly but as he stated, it is his life and we can't force him to have the surgery if he chooses not to. It's just the aspect that he could die without having the surgery and he just does not seem to care at all. We are really going to need more prayers and positive vibes to get through this.
