for those of you who saw me in a huff today, i'm fine, and so is my grandpa.... sorta. what had happened was this: my grandpa's health has been declining over the past few months, and i've been starting to worry about him. well, last night, he called around ten, saying his stomach hurt. so, my dad picked him up some medicine and took it to him. i fell asleep, and found out all the details of what happened this morning. when my dad came home, everything was fine but then, about midnight last night, my grandpa called again, saying the medicine wasn't working, that the pain was only getting worse. so, my dad went over and took him to the hospital- St. Luke's, in case ya'll are wonderin. well, they found that somehow my grandpa's intestines were all jumbled up, which was why he was hurting so bad. in other words, his insides looked like this: wkdfjhwejklfcnlgkjtmil;sdgkljhd. so, they're gonna haveta do surgery on him this afternoon, but they don't know how long it's gonna take, nor do they know what they're gonna find. yeah, they did cat scans and x-rays and whatnot, but you still never know with these things. the surgery's minor, and if he doesn't have it, he'll die, because everything in there will get all backed up and he won'
t be able to function properly. he still hasn't gone in yet, cause they had to squeeze him into the schedule, but he should be in some time tonight... hopefully.
so, that's what all's goin on with me. and yeah, there's still a slight chance that he may die during the surgery, or afterwards, depending on what they find, cause like i said, they don't know. so, just thought i'd let ya'll know what was goin on in case you guys were wonderin.
