Update

Today marks the 30th day that my grandfather has been in the hospital. Ughhh! He is still in the ICU with no word on when he will be moved to the floor, nor how long he will stay there before being moved to a rehab facility of IF that is even possible. On Tuesday, He had a permanent pace maker put in, he was taken back to ICU where things seemed to be going okay, until they realized his oxygen level was low and declining - luckily they were paying attention, and took him for a CT scan which is where they realized they must have punctured his lung during the procedure. They put in a chest tube and inflated the lung again! Ughhhh! I think I said a long time ago that my biggest fear about him going into the hospital for surgery was that it reminded me of a old car...once one thing goes wrong, ten other things go wrong, and you never seem to get back what you took in. That is still how I feel. Things keep going wrong. We get one thing fixed and something else goes wrong.
We are going to the dog track tonight with some friends...I am pretty excited about it. It isn't really that big of a deal, but its nice to get out of the house! I have so much to do around here. I started some laundry and I seriously need to hit the grocery store, but I am feeling soooooooooo lazy...I am still in pajamas and I dont want to move!!!! I need some sort of encouragement!
