My+Grandpa

I think that my grandpa has a lot of perseverance because he had a really bad heart last year and he had to have open-heart surgery. The doctors said that if he hadn't come to the doctor then, he would have died! My grandpa recovered (it took a while), but he was still in a lot of pain afterwards. He had a lot of therapy, and he still goes to it, but he is a lot better than he was last year. While he was in the hospital, we all went to visit him, and as we walked to his room, i looked into the other rooms that we passed. The first room I saw was and old lady sleeping in her bed. Then, there was this old man with a really bad cough. Finally, i walked past a room with no one in it. The nurses were taking the sheets of and changing then, putting new pillows on, and taking all of the old lady's decorations that she had in her room down. They took away her name, and that is when I realized that she was dead. Right then and there, I thought about how lucky I am to have my grandpa alive still. One i got into my grandpa's room, i was sad because i didnt want his room to end up like that old lady's did...empty ( unless he is leaving to go home). When he recovered, I was so happy! Now, my grandpa is doing really well. He is playing outside a lot, and he goes fishing, and does yardwork, ect. He even scheduled his appointments for next year! I am very proud of my grandpa for fighting through his heart problems, and all of the pain he was in. I look up to him alot!
