Holy roller-coaster, Batman!

Ay yi yi. The last few days have been a little crazy. After the high of getting a kickass jobby job, things kind of took a turn for the worse. My poor little Gram had a heart attack on Friday morning and had to go to the hospital. Luckily it was a "minor" heart attack (which seems analogous to being "a little" pregnant) and her heart wasn't permanently damaged. However, as they started doing a battery of tests they realized that things were pretty serious. As in, open heart surgery serious.

After much excruciating hemming and hawing, it was decided that Gram was going to go for the surgery instead of having stents put in since the likelihood of the stents being successful was in question. She seemed undeterred by the fact that there was going to be a long and brutal recovery period from the surgery. She just wanted to get it done and move on. She's amazing.

Well, she is one tough cookie. She had a quadruple bypass and took it like a champ. Her heart is pumping strong, her arteries look great, and she is resting comfortably in the ICU (still sedated) as we speak...er, I mean, as I write this. She'll be relazing with her Button Club buddies in no time.

So, way to go Gram!
