Grandpa

Well, seems I may be getting my wish to go back to Oregon...  just not in the way I planned.
For the past while my granfather's toes have been turning blue from a combo of diabetes and smoking since he was 9.
If he can't quit smoking, or if he does and the biopsy results aren't good.. they're going to remove his leg from the knee down...
If this happens, he'll need constant help, and my grandma is busy as a nurse usually, and also needs her sleep.
I would have to quit school again, but helping out my grandpa during the day and tying to find a night job might not be so bad.

I'd just feel extremely bad, because I want to go home more than practically anything, I wouldn't wish losing most of a leg on anyone, not even my grandpa. Even if it means I'm stuck in New Hampshire longer, I hope my grandpa is okay, and they only need to remove a few toes or part of his foot, which is the best case scenario. :(

It's cold as hell in NH right now, too, with the heat on high it's not even getting above 60 in the house.

grandma, oregon, cold, home, grandpa
