thanks for your support. My dad has had a stroke and he is being treated only with aspro to thin his blood....About 9 weeks ago he smashed all the bones in his foot and ankle and the dr wont operate coz of his condition. It kind of sux. They told him they will operate after december 2009, thats if the pcv doesnt get to him first..I find it depressing that they cant do much for him...
