I don't mean to sound cold but......

Quote From: cperna

My father had triple bypass surgery and contracted MRSA and had to be hospitalized for a month.  Three years later, he died very suddenly of a massive heart attack.  Could this have been due to the infection caused by MRSA?  He was only 70 yrs. old and otherwise healthy.
Your Father was only 70 when he died of a massive heart attack?! Both you and he were blessed with his living into his golden years. My father died from a massive heart attack at the age of 47. He died away from home on his way back to Colorado, he built golf courses, on New Year's Eve. He was buried on my 19th birthday. I wish my dad had lived 1 more year, 5 more years, 20 more years, I wish I had just 1 more day with him. He left behind 4 almost grown kids and my little sister who was only 10. In one year my Mom lost 3 family members, first she lost her mother at the age of 63 to cancer, 6 months later she lost her 49 year old brother to a heart attack, and then 6 months later she lost my father. She was only 43. The shock of it all threw her into early menopause the following year. At 67 I consider myself blessed to still have her. My husband lost his 20 year old son in a car accident, are you starting to see my point? It's always hard to lose a parent or any loved one but be grateful for how much time you had with your father for you are truly blessed in my eyes.
