I think my grandads dying :(

[dransy]

I cant believe it!! hes only 70!
Hes had to go in for an op on his heart for his iotica valve i think its called the one that stops blood coming back into his heart , but when he was 50 he had a triple heart bypass so its had complications on this op now!

Im gutted ! he went under wednesday morning for his 6hourish op they tried to bring him back round but his blood pressure kept dropping so theyve had to put him back under like an induced coma.

They changed his drugs thursday night and hes been more stable.

My nana didnt want me to go see him like he his but my mum said i had to incase it was the last time i saw him .

Im glad i did but fuckme was it hard . he cant even breathe for himself! hes got his oxygen tutbe in his mouth his food pipe in his nose then like another 9 different machines pumping drugs into him.

I went to see him with my uncle yesterday and i couldnt believe how hard it was to be there. I propper nearly burst out crying i think the only reason i didnt is because i went with my uncle and he held it together for me!

We started joking saying the only reason he wont wake up is because he doesnt wanna go to back home to my gran moaning at him! and when the nurse started feeding him my uncle said put a pint of guinness in and i bet you he wakes up and i said hell wake up on saturday because moto gp starts!! and he never misses it! it seemed so surreal just seeing him there doing nothing ! just laid there asleep with all these drugs and machines!

I dont know what to do with myself all the doctors/sisters say is that there going at his pace but hes a very sick man! I know there doing there job but he cant fucking go yet! hes only been retired 2 years its fucking bullshit!!

Im absaloutley devastated i dont know what do its going to be the first loss ive gone through wtf can i do. i feel useless all my family is just waiting and waiting but minutes feel like days!!

I hope to fuck im right and he wakes up for moto gp , he even told my nan to tape it for when he wakes up but what if he doesnt wake up!!

Don't give up on him just yet, try not to focus on the worst possible scenario. You can never predict how these situations can turn around.

Very little you can do physically apart from be there. For everyone else, as much as him.

Just bear in mind that a life of disability, pain and misery is no life at all.

I've had a few people go now, and it doesn't get any easier, so it matters not if it is the first or last.

The world still turns, and time will help you to accept, though that is of no comfort at the beginning.

Just make sure you record the MotoGP for him.

Best wishes.

[EDIT] I wrote the following almost a year ago, similar thing I was going through.

Don't know if it helps, but if he is still here, then you are ahead of the game. Hang in there.

I hope he recovers, I really do. I feel your pain, my grandfather is going for heart surgery soon, and he's also 70. I'm really worried about it not going well, and I can tell he is as well. He lives in Scotland so I only get to see him once a year, twice if I'm lucky. His surgery is before my graduation from university so I really really hope he makes it as it won't be the same if he isn't there.

Stay strong for him, and for your family, but also for yourself. I also have no idea how to cope with loss as I've never really experienced it either. I just hope things work out well for you.

My story is not the best story in the world, my Dad retired. And they had all the plan's in the world. Worked hard all his life for this time to arrive. House paid for money in the bank. You name it, he had it. Retired at 67 worked longer for a bigger pay out. And he felt fit. Woke up one morning when he was 70. And did not feel too good so stayed in bed. By the afternoon. Was not getting any better. So my Mum called an an ambulance. Got him in to hospital, they found out he was bleeding in side from a heart valve that had started to go tit's up. He died on the operating table six hour's later. You see some one at the week end, two day's later you get a call late at night to go to the hospital. Wait only to be told he has passed over. I was just thinking, It's not fair. he's worked hard for this time in is life. And it get's snached away from him.

Life is not fair. But I know what you are thinking and what you must be going through. I wish your grand Dad well. And I hope like me you can start to understand the cycle of like.

He did tell me one time. He was a wise old bird. That the Grim Reaper don't cut corn in a straight line. Took me a long time to work that one out.

Im in the same kinda boat as you.

My granddad keeps going in and out of critical care putting everyone on edge but he keeps pulling through like a trooper.

Feel for you.

I found out on here about 2 1/2 years ago that my Gran had been given 2days to 2weeks to live.

She pulled through and is still going strong.

Keep believing and keep strong, if not for yourself do it for your family.

Hope it goes well, and he pulls through.
