My grandpa died this afternoon

So this story starts off about 3 months ago when he went in for a regular checkup. He discovered his aortic valve had been 97% blocked. The doctors in North Carolina had no clue what to do, so he went to his old doctor in Ohio to get a second opinion. The doctor had tested him and he had been a candidate for a recently created surgery that puts a new aortic valve in the old one. It was a two step surgery that went excellently both times, aside for one tiny detail. When they did a CT scan they noticed a dark purple thing in the old valve but outside the new one. Yesterday he went in for a CT scan and they noticed it was gone. The doctors had assumed it was a good thing, until this afternoon.

Turns out the purple thing was a blood clot, and it had moved to his brain.

When he woke up this morning and went to the bathroom, my grandma had gone in to check on him after a few minutes, and he had a stroke on the toilet. It had completely destroyed the left part of his brain. He didn't want to be a vegetable, so he asked my grandma to let him go. He died this afternoon, with everybody in the family but my sister, my cousin, and I with him. My sister and I were working and my cousin is going to BU so he won't be here until tomorrow.

The part that shocks me the most is he was doing great when I saw him a week ago. How can something go from so well to tragic in such a small amount of time?

RIP Boss, you were on of the coolest grandpas ever.

RIP mate.

My thoughts are with you and your family. If you need anyone to talk to, PM/kik/aim me.

I know this must be a very difficult time for you.

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. My grandpa died exactly one month before I was born, so I never even had the opportunity to meet him.

Also, if you're ever looking for someone to talk to, I'm here.

Sorry to hear it man. My 13 year old friend and my grandma died recently. Just think of all the happy times. It helped me

You have my condolences, hopefully he's in a better place. Your grandma was really brave for making such a decision :l props.
