Update on Granddad’s condition.
October 15th, 2006 by Jim Clark
For those of you who have been asking about how my granddad is doing after his heart attack, I give you the following update which was provided to me by my aunt.
My granddad is progressing slowly, doing a little better every day. Right now the doctors are saying he will be able to go home this coming Wednesday. The physical therapist will come by the house once a day. They are hoping his strength will continue to increase so that he will be able to endure the bypass surgery he needs so badly.
My grandma says that his spirits are down, being in the hospital for so long and having major surgery looming in the near future. It is unusual for him not to be upbeat, so this makes it difficult for her, too. But things will be better once he can come home. They are both really looking forward to that.
Grandma seems to be doing all right by herself at home. They are both fiercely independent.
