Lou and his mother, Mable, following his open heart surgery, May 1988
14 May 1988 – Got up and worked on moving dirt in the orchard, to build a pathway. I got very tired and my chest began to hurt, so I stopped and played ball with Matthew.
26 May 1988 – I had another (my 2nd) heart attack in Pleasant View
26 May 1988 – Angiogram, 5: 30 p.m. Five bad spots.
27 May 1988 – Open heart surgery. Dr. Thomas Blanch was my doctor, and Dr. Cain was the surgeon who performed the open heart surgery at McKay Dee Hospital in Ogden. I had 5 bypasses done on my heart, and was weak for a while.
Hooray for modern medicine that gave us a lot more good years with Dad!
