My grandfather has always been a strong man, both in mind and body. That strength has served him well.
Early this morning (4am), my grandfather had a massive coronary. Fortunately, he'd already been feeling bad and gone to the hospital, so he was in the ER when he went into arrest. They had to shock him three times, but he pulled through -- which has the doctors and nurses amazed, as apparently they normally lose patients at that point. He's in Cardiac ICU now, and the next 24 hours are critical, but it looks like he'll pull through.
And I'm in a complete fog.
