I was called by Grandma to rush to the hospital a little before 3 this afternoon as she said there was an emergency. Calling my aunt at work that I was on my way, I kept thinking how I was hoping from her to catch a break earlier in the week between her best friend already dead this week and now this as he went in for surgery to remove a hernia. When we got there, we were scrambling from floor to floor, desk to desk to find him and when a nurse approached us while we were hoping for the best, the news of him not making it after 30 minutes of attempted revival and resuscitation was extremely painful to say the least. We were told by one of the surgeons that there could've been a number of problems that may have occurred, but it probably was due to a blood clot (he had been sick and disabled for most of the past decade while I was away at college with dialysis and all) and since she didn't opt for the autopsy, I suppose I'll have to go with that.
I'm hurting, but Grandma is taking it the hardest for they were married for 46 yrs and her best friend had already died earlier in the week and she was looking to him for comfort and support. Now she has neither to turn to and it was immensely captivating to see how even though they were at each others' throat w/bickering and arguing for so long like The Lockhorns, they always stood together side by side and held it down like an old couple should.
Thanks, Grandpa, for running me up the wall in the process of making me into a good man.
