Update on my Grandma

My grandpa, who is almost 86, says that Grandma will have an operation today and the doctor is putting in a steel rod and ball. They tucked him into a chair last night in her room, with a blankie and a pillow. This morning the doctor told him to write "yes" on the leg they are operating on. That's probably a good idea so they won't fix the wrong one by accident. He is helping as much as he can and says he's not leaving until they throw him out. Mom says he sounds really scared and she asked him if she could come sit with him, but he says he just wants to be alone with Grandma right now.

Grandma and Grandpa have been married for 66 years. They're pretty used to being around each other. Mom says he's in his "chicken soup mode", which means he's operating on automatic pilot taking care of Grandma. When Grandma isn't feeling well, he'd cook her chicken soup from scratch. They take really good care of each other and always go places together.

I will keep you posted. Yorkie Prayers really help a lot. The Dachsies are praying today, too.

Thank you, everybody.
