Hey man there's a few that like to call me out. I figured I would fix that problem before it even starts!

As soon as my grandfather gets better and can leave I will be talking to him about removing my grandmothers hand guns. I don't care if we hide them in his cabinet or I take them with me. But a woman with starting dementia is one of the exceptions of where I say they should not own a gun. She's got like 5 .45 revolvers, and 6-7 derringers.

i agree also about that! both my grandmas have alzheimerz and one of them owned guns. we took her guns away right after she started showing signs.. i would just buy him a gun safe, and only let him know the combination, that way he can still protect himself you know?

Oh man he is loaded with more guns than gunman. My grandmother probably has more revolvers and derringers than gunman has glocks! LOL

Thanks man! I wish I could give you a call but I haven't got a phone yet. I will probably go buy a cheap straight talk today or tomorrow. Couldn't barely sleep with the ruckus the hotel room next door made last night. Jesus it wasn't right.

BP, HR, O2 all up!!!

Now we will know in three days if he is going to make it for sure.

Here's a picture of the medal case I put together of my grandfather just in case anyone wants *proof*...



I'm gonna fix where the one medal fell down but overall I think it looks nice
Very impressive. That there is a TRUE HERO. Only an a$$hole would want proof! Glad to hear he made it through. He is a tough one for sure.

Thanks for the prayers man! I just wanted to take care of that problem before anyone decides to bring it up and ruin an honest thread!

I'm about to take a ride out to deal with some family problems! Wish me luck!

They removed the ventilator because I asked for it and the reason I want that is because prolonged ventilation can be deadly. I lost a lifelong family friend like a second mom to me because of prolonged ventilation.

I walked about a mile down to the store and got my grandfather the batteries for his hearing aids while they removed the ventilator. I got his teeth, his hearing aids, and glasses on him and he lit right up once he got his glasses on and he could hear me. He told me I need a haircut to get that mop off of my head.

So I told him once he makes it out of the hospital I will let him shave my head and he started laughing.

Good day guys good day!!!

He told me he was so happy that I came up and I am the reason he didn't quit and fought to stay alive and I came just in time.
