You radiate strength, buddy.

My heart goes out to you man! I know how you feel. My grandmother was in pain and fought with it for years before deciding to have a surgery done to help her live out the rest of her life pain free.

The surgery went well and she was on her way to recovery and everyone would go visit her daily encouraging her so she could make a speedy recovery and come home.

I remember driving to the hospital that day and getting there to see my grandmother resting in her bed. Sleeping was good for her because she was in a lot of pain from surgery. So I let her sleep.

I wouldn’t guess 10 minutes after me sitting down in the seat next to her bedside, grandma suffered a massive heart attack. She made a sound I will never forget.

As I turned to see what that sound was, all I saw was a scared look on her face. I couldn’t help but panic as I ran into the hall begging a nurse to help my grandmother.

My heart raced so fast that I went pale and the staff rushed me into the Emergency Room because I was having trouble breathing. As I lay in the bed attached to monitors, I couldn’t help but think about my grandmother and how I would rather die than have her go.

I begged the Doctors to please let me go back and be with her and I was grateful they did. She was able to be revived and she did suffer some damage, her memory was not the same and you could tell that something was ‘different’ about her.

Over the next couple of days she had more trouble and the doctors made us face that difficult decision.

Now grandma doesn’t have any more pain.

God Bless you and your family Chris…Thank you for sharing your story with me.
