Let this serve as a warning to the men on here:

If something doesn't feel right, go see a doctor.

You can catch diseases soon enough to treat them and extend your life. I had food poisoning around the middle of November, then felt discomfort around my heart a few days later. Go to urgent care, they declare a STEMI code for me due to a few abnormal EKGs and detectable troponin levels (it's normally not detectable). Get transferred to a hospital inside of half an hour, put on the table in the Cath lab, and a guy is putting a tube through an artery to make my heart more visible. Turns out I got myopercarditis quickly from the food poisoning - inflammation of the heart lining and muscle. Left untreated, it could lead to a whole host of heart problems.

Semi-related, he introduced me to this site and science fiction, for which I will be eternally grateful. I like some of his music, but went my own way in junior high - my stuff got heavier.

Thank you for the wise and heartfelt advice about seeking medical attention. May our Lord in Heaven have mercy of your father and grant the repose of his soul and provide comfort and consolation to you, your mother, your sister, and your whole family.

You are being pragmatic. I loved my Dad, but he lived a similar life and died a similar way. I loved him as much as everyone loves their Dad.

As I’ve grown older I guess I get it. I miss him more now than I did then. Often I go to the gym and tell him on the way that I never imagined him doing the same. Then I laugh.

I am sorry for your loss. Don’t be angry at him. People do what they are going to do. All YOU can do is love them.
