He's been in bed all day today, in and out of sleep.  But he's eaten pretty well, considering.  

Yesterday we had a huge disaster at the hospital.  I'm too tired to go into details at the moment, but suffice to say that people in general are blindingly incompetent; they performed the wrong procedure, and then almost killed him with twice as much insulin as he should have taken if he had been eating in the past four days.  Let me tell you, you don't want to be the surgeon who fucked up and walk into a room with me, my cousin and my mother with a smug look on your face where my Grandfather in concerned.

One thing you have to know about my Grandpa is he's pretty skeptical about the afterlife - he's said several times that the only place he thinks he's going is to Whitmire Cemetary.  Of course, Mom and I believe in some form of the afterlife, so we've been describing how we think it will be to him, and also how we think it won't be, and Mom's been asking if he's seen any angels yet.  Of course he keeps saying no, lol.  Anyway, I was sitting next to him on the bed, holding his hand, and then he woke up and looked at me and said, "I saw an angel.  It was you."
