Well, my grandfather’s surgery got moved up and he was operated on last evening. The surgery in itself was a success, but how he reacts when he is not sedated will be the big question.
As for my little shift with him, it was an interesting experience, with fortunately not a lot of agitation from him when I was there. I have nothing but admiration for the Personal Support Workers who do this for a living on a daily basis, because I found the experience to be physically and emotionally tiring, even when he was pretty good on the whole for the 6 1/2 hrs I was there.
