You have to meet my Grandpa. 2 days before his surgery the Drs told him he had maybe a 10% chance of surviving, RIGHT BEFORE the surgery, they wanted to cancel because he had NO chance of survival, NONE, 0%... they rushed everyone in to say goodbye to him and took him off to surgery anyways because he told them, "I didnt up and decide one day to have this surgery, my wife and I thought long and hard about the pros and cons, and I want to go ahead with it. Ill be okay."
So they rushed him into surgery.. that was the LONGEST 3 hours of my entire life. watching as each minute passed.. praying, crying.. being terrified. then back in the waiting room, the surgen came out and asked if the information could be shared with the group (15 - 20 people were there, all family, most from Grandma Martys side). He said Grandpa was on his way to ICU, the Surgery went better than expected, he got through it with flying colors..
Now Grandpa is in a nursing home for a week for physical therapy to learn how to use his new hip.
How does one survive a 0% chance of living through a surgery, when ALL the Drs are saying NO? MIRACLES DO HAPPEN!
But of course, Im back.. I drove from Trinidad Colorado all the way home. My sister drove from Denver to Trinidad.. I love driving. at any rate, Im going to go unpack. and I will talk to everyone tomorrow!
