>>5763814My dad is also 71 and doesn't do much about his health. My uncle passed away at 81 and took his health very seriously. The possibility of my dad not reaching his 81st birthday and therefore having less than 10 more years left frightens and saddens me deeply.
Maybe I'm just lucky that my dad is mostly cool and my family is well-adjusted as you call it and I'm not sure about what your relationship with your dad is like, but treasure the good moments you can still spend with him if possible, anon. Dads are an important part of our lives, for good and for bad.
