On July 3rd my Grandpa was admitted into St. Joseph hospital to have a kidney removed due to cancerous masses found completely surrounding it. It was a long day.
Thankfully my Grandpa is an incredibly strong man and has come through the surgery and recovery with flying colors. They weren't able to get all the cancer however and he will have to undergo some varying degrees of chemotherapy or radiation therapy...
My Grandpa has always been the template for the man I want to be... he's a huge influence on my life and this has been a bit challenging to swallow. I have the utmost faith that his strength and the strength of his family will see him through this though...
.... it also helps that he's able to lay in a hospital bed with a sleep mask that says "Wake me only for Sex or Bowling".... and I don't think he minds all the younger nurses having to take care of him.
