So, what happens when:

1. Your grandfather, who is VERY close to you, has a minor heart attack but nothing major.

2. He goes to the hospital and they think there is a blocked artery.

3. His November appointment was MOVED UP one week... this is typically BAD.

4. And, just then, he hands me a ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL and tells me "he just wanted me to have it."

...guys... I think he's close to death and, if that happens... well, September 11th is just petty compared to what would happen to me if my grandfather died...

I'm scared, and I just needed somewhere to let it all out. You don't have to reply or anything, I just needed to let it all off. I'm shaking.

Pooja, i had a really bad experience recently when i was with someone who had a heart attack, and i really though they were dead, but luckily they had a full recovery. what im trying to say is look on the bright side.
Maybe things are better than they seem, and i really hope your grandfather is fine happy

Well, he may have just been being nice. I did bring up the fact that my girlfriend's anniversary was coming up and I needed money... and he DOES give me money a lot...

...but after all this stuff about his heart and his appointment being moved up... I don't know... I'm just scared.

Don't get in a negative mindset. You may become too paranoid and start overanalyzing things.

I'm sure he'll be fine, but if he isn't, my prayers go out to you.

Another thing; he seems really healthy. Like now, he's running around town. He's active and doesn't show any signs of... well anything. BUT you never know. He does have emphazema too.

I'm no doctor, but I would take heart in knowing they only moved up his November appointment by a week. If they really thought it was serious or expected major complications, it seems to me they would move it up much more than that. I mean, the man did just have a heart attack, moving up his appointment (which is months away) seems reasonable to me.

I hope everything works out for and your family.

He had the minor heart attack a few months ago... we didn't even know about it- but the tests he had done showed that he had a minor attack.

Pooja,

It sounds like you have given yourself a good excuse to spend more time with him. Had I realized that my time was limited with my Grandfather , I would have done things totally different. Now, it's too late.

God bless you and your family.

Well lol, like I said he's gone a lot. He's always out with my grandmother... they both seem fine but that's just the outside. It's the inside that counts.

Well, unless something major happens, I think I'll be okay. When they get home I'm going to question them and see if there is anything they aren't telling me. I know if there is really something wrong, they won't tell me. That's just how close I am to them. Both of them. I couldn't imagine life without him.

But he's not gone yet, and I may be wrong. I may just be paranoid.

I'll pray for him and for your family

Even though I love your care, it's not necessary just yet. I do thank you though. happy

They can do wonderful things for blocked arteries now.
My grandfather just had the same thing happen, and they did an outpatient angioplasty proceedure by putting a balloon in to clear the artery, then putting a splint in the artery to keep it open and clear.
He is feeling better than he has in a long time.

We are having a big birthday party for him tomorrow.

I hope everything goes as well for him as it did for my grandpa.
We'll be thinking about you.
