Thank you for your response. For the past two years dad and I swim three times a week from 40 to 60 minutes. As I have watched dad this past week I think a big part of his make up is that he is pretty tough and he has had a real positive outlook. He has always been a hard worker, and never seemed to take a short cut in doing anything. There is something about WWII veterans and their mental make-up that amazes me. I just got home from spending all day with dad. His doctors say he is doing great. We took 3 walks today 800 yards each time. he read the news paper, played poker and dominos and we finshed the day by watching the Daytona 500. Tomorrow is the sip test. Big day.
Thanks Steve
