Thanks for all of your well-wishing guys. There won't be a lawsuit though, my dad just isn't the type to press charges. He's the kind of guy that quietly works 80 hour weeks (yes 80, the amount I work in 2 weeks and I'm less than half my dad's age and I have a cushy office job). In fact it was working all those hours that caused my dad's problems. He's a heavy-equipment operator (bulldozers, backhoes, excavators, highlifts, etc) and he sits in the same position for 10-12 hours a day many times 7 days a week. The clots came from poor lower body circulation. Truck drivers get DVT (deep vein thrombosis) alot too. They eventually break off and can go to your lungs (pulmonary emboli(sm))
Thanks again for all the well wishes guys. You're all my gt homies.
