Walter, sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you that he stays strong and healthy.

My father is 86 and has been suffering with this fir past three years. He too had been healthy and no ailments until this major diagnosis along with many others that accompany this.

We are with you in the journey, Debbie Meihls

I appreciate your kind words Debbie. It's hard seeing your parents going through the trials and tribulations of aging. My prayers are with you and your father.

Yes, staying the course - be positive.

Walter, I'm so sorry to hear this -- my mother suffered from congestive hair failure so I know how serious this is. I didn't know he'd had COVID. There's a lot more that can be done for HF now than when my mom suffered from it -- you have excellent medical facilities in your area, too. Touch base and let me know how things are. Very Best Regards, Susie

Thank you Susie - I will reach out to you later this week.

His cardiologist recommended that he see a medical group at Duke University, so that's our next step.

Such great support from our carbon creed community! I'm very fortunate.

Great -- I'll be around. I think I know that medical group and they're supposed to be excellent. I have two friends that see them -- one had a heart valve that could not be repaired so the eventual outcome was congestive heart failure. You have my number so give me a buzz -- I'll check in later if I haven't heard.
