This has been a truly craptastic summer

My Grandpa passed away this morning after a week-long battle that began with an innocent enough prep for a colonoscopy. He had a malignant tumor in his colon and they believe the violent effects of the medication caused his colon to twist, and by the time they got him to the hospital and into surgery he was in bad condition. They wound up having to do a second surgery and take out his entire colon and part of his small intestine. He developed pneumonia and after all that made his wishes clear he wanted off of life support measures. He would've been 91 next month.
