As some of you already know, my grandmother has been in poor health the past few months. I visited her in May when she was still at home. They moved her to a nursing home a few weeks ago, and I visited her last weekend. She’s frail and suffers from some dementia, but I got to see her on a day when her mind was working well.
My grandfather has been her caretaker the past few years, watching over his life companion while in so-called retirement (the stock market has been a full time hobby). Now he’s in surgery …
My grandfather had a heart attack Tuesday night. At 10:00am today they started heart surgery & removal of blockage from three major arteries. Update @ 4:55pm – Grandfather is out of surgery & in great shape for an 83 year old man who just had a heart attack. Several arteries cleared or bypassed, one heart valve repaired. So far, so good 🙂
Even when my grandmother has gone to the hospital for previous problems, my grandfather visited every day. This might be the first time in decades when my grandparents have spent more than a few days apart.
