My grandfather had a seizure yesterday. He's in the hospital, but only for observation and to have some tests performed. He's on a regular diet and doesn't even have an IV. Mom, from what my grandmother described, thinks he had a stroke then suffered a grand mal as a result. The test results should be in today.

Of course, all my grandfather, stubborn butthead that he is, cared about was that he was going to miss out on the T-Bones he got out to thaw. This isn't a surprise to any of us. When he nearly severed the tip of his finger (it was dangling by a breaths-width of skin), he came in and requested a bandaid from my grandmother because he "cut his finger." She had to threaten to hit him over the head with her iron skillet to even get him in the car. If I wasn't five hours away, I would give him a good shake. Followed by a hug. He gives the best hugs.

Sigh. I'm not ready to lose him yet. I want a good ten years to pass without me losing someone I love.

briary_flower, you'll be happy to know I made that appointment we talked about ages ago. It's next Thursday. I'll tell you how it goes.

Heh. Did anyone catch Grey's Anatomy last night? Overall, a very mellow episode, though the fuck heads over TWoP are trashing nearly every character and there is already talk of "abandoning ship." Have I mentioned their fuck head status? Yeah. The love affair is over, I guess. Whatev. That's a complaint for a different day.

Anyway, I just about died laughing when the reason for the fork-stabbing came out. No, I'm not that sick and twisted. It reminded me of a story my friend Hyo told me about her days as an ER nurse. One day, they had this woman come in with all these strange stab wounds to her face. They couldn't for the life of them figure out what the hell had happened. Then this guy came in on the next ambulance, with severe bite wounds to his penis. Yep. The wounds were the result of her date jabbing her with his fork after she suffered a seizure in the midst of giving him head. This woman literally had his dick in her very own jaws of life. Methinks neither of them will be giving or receiving oral sex on the first date ever again.
