strange days

well. yesterday did not turn out how i expected!

long story short:

i knew my grandma was taken to the hospital ill on Monday,

but didn't know why, then found out just before work Tuesday

while driving in that they did emergency surgery to

remove her appendix, but she'd also had a stroke,

and she was having trouble breathing because she has COPD.

the hospital initially stated she might not make it.

so i went to fredericksburg to visit her, but when i get there,

the woman is sitting up in a chair and talkin' up a storm

(and by talkin', i also mean cussin').

They are keeping her longer to run tests on her lungs.

She's nearly 81 years old and has been smoking

almost 67 years. And according to her, she never even once

thought about quitting!

I'm really glad I went to visit her.

She's pretty much the bomb diggity.
