Default They don't make'em like him anymore

Well last night after my last post I got a call. Gramps was head into surgey[]

He made it through just fine, he is having issues with his intestine leaking. Anyways he did not go under and they did not use any local on him. The Doc told us he's the toughest SOB he's ever met.

They cut away infected flesh on his stomach until it was gone. It was pretty much his entire stomach[&:] Afterward we said goodnight he looked great. He gave me a kiss and told me he love me

Damn is he one tough SOB[8D]

I really admire the older generation, because they don't have a sense of entitlement and aren't a bunch of whiners. My prayers are with your grandfather!!!

Good to hear Germ. I respect the older generation twice as much as the new liberal anything goes people of these days. I hope everything works out and he makes a full recovery. God bless!!
