But in the middle of surgery, my father started having a heart attack, in one of the best examples of "perfect timing" I can possibly imagine. The surgeon was all, "....huh, look at that. Guess I'd better throw in a bypass."<br /><br />My father not only pulled through, he had even more energy after the valve had been fixed and was playing golf about 6 weeks later. This was also ten years ago and when I called him this afternoon to ask him a question, Mom told me he was at the gym and to call back later.<br /><br />I say all this to give you anecdotal hope.

He'll turn 65 in July, and despite a few minor things like depression (and, sadly, being laid off); he's come through the whole experience pretty well. And this from a guy who used to LOVE fast food & wine! If he can do it, Rob, you can too.
