It was sort of a running joke that Dad would outlive us all. He came from a mix of very hearty and very prone to heart disease stock. Had he taken after his mother’s side, he would have died before retirement. As it was, his father’s genetics tended toward outliving your mental capabilities. So, he muddled through massive coronary issues and other health trouble from Viet Nam toxics.
What did him in was not the cancer, but the imbecile chinese breast cancer gal who had no clue how to handle gerontologic patients. Complete medical incompetence that garnered the attention of the hospital and oncology departments, which chastised her. That was four months into neglecting to implement common standards of care in his treatment. Mom is still going strong at 91. Out in the rain pulling weeds in her garden this past week.
