Never a Dull Moment
So what’s been going on? Well, I turned 18, have been doing the whole college thing, and what probably explains my absence, my Granda had a stroke.
The day before my Birthday(Wednesday the 4th) I was in College about to go to a lecture when I got a phonecall that my Granda was in Hospital and that I’d be picked up in 10 minutes.
I proceeded to go to the Hospital to find him in a bed, in a coma. He came out of the coma after a few hours and was left unable to talk, walk, or move his right side.
Things took a turn for the worst when on the following Monday night we were told he developed Pneumonia and wasn’t expected to make it through the next 24 hours, expectantly we rushed to the Hospital and spent the next while with him, when he showed some small signs of improvement we all breathed a collective sigh of relief, ever since then he’s been improving.
Over three weeks later he’s pretty much in the same state, though today, in a completely unexpected and inspiring turn of events he managed to say the word ‘no’ when we asked him a question(Up until now he was only able to nod or shake his head to answer). It completely took us by surprise and moved my Granny to tears as she feared she’d never hear her loving Husband’s voice again.
He’s still there, and even if he’s unable to move his right side he’s still my Granda, and he still retains all his mannerisms, wether it’s his rubbing of his forehead or our signature high-five we’ve always done, he even managed to bust out a wink at me last week, which literally made my heart melt, and assured to me that he was in there, somewhere.
