Chris, you gave me some funny visuals. I can almost picture your father. He certainly sounds like a character. You just never know what you can do....until you have to.
Regards,
Dusti

Dusti, I know that feeling. When my father's legs looked thinner than mine
(last year) it broke my heart and frightened me to death! Now he looks like
his former self (except with long "hippie" hair now @ nearly 77 years!).
When my neighbor's friend, Mark installed our fence 2 years ago, I was
startled to learn that he had had cancer only 2 yrs before! This guy picked
up *several* fence posts along with heavy tools, all at the same time and
hauled them down the length of the yard. (My neighbor and his son could each
carry two with nothing else added on.) He worked at least 11 hour days to
get the job done in a weekend so he could finish before he had to be back at
work Monday. At lunch he ate a steak, 2 baked potatoes and a large salad plus
dessert!
It wasn't until 2 months LATER I learned that Mark had weighed in at just
over 85 pounds during the worst phase of his cancer journey. You have to see
this guy to believe it ! - he's about 6'2" tall and is built like a polar
bear (horizonally and vertically). He had some type of (advanced?) Hodgkins
(not sure which type) and they said it was really touch and go for him for a
long time.
