and everyone else that so kindly offered me use of their boat. Dad had to go in last month and have another stent placed in a coronary artery. For at least the next two weeks, he is on plavix and eloquis...two very, very effective blood thinners. Unfortunately, he's not the most stable on his feet anymore, so while he is on these potent "you will bleed to death if you fall" meds, mom has him on restriction and wearing a bicycle helmet around the house....I'm not even going to attempt to tell her I'm taking him fishing in a boat. It sucks, but maybe we can get him straight and off the thinners so we can go fishing when I'm back in August. I truly appreciate y'alls' generosity.
