On Saturday my granddad had a massive brain hemorrhage to all of our great horror. It all started while Mama was in Pakistan a few before they were coming home, and she was crossing the w/ granddad when this idiot on a motorbike came and ran him down... That XXXX - XXXX! This is very shocking b/c the motorbike was quite a good distance away went he decided to cross and is about 86 (so he's not not going to walking fast making him hard to see from far and not going to suddenly run into the street), and the driver could've gone in front or behind, but instead decided to go through him! Thankfully, he only had lots of cuts and bruises, and was able to whack the teenage the teenage driver with his walking stick a few good times before he ran off...
Anyway, he seemed fine afterwards when all last week he was having a great deal of trouble walking and suddenly last Friday his blood pressure went excessively high (more worrying since he's Diabetic). By time Saturday morning came around, my granddad couldn't move his entire left side, so we quickly called GP, and once he arrived said my granddad had paralysis on left side (and was a bit too late), and called the ambulance to go to the A&E. Luckily, the paramedics agreed to take him to another, much better, much new A&E than the one I had to go to. Within two hours, he was being operated on by neurosurgeons. It took over four hours, and was largely successful. Thankfully, by Monday he was conscious, and relatively alert. But, he's really amazing, very strong willed and hopefully everything will work out for the best. Now we are waiting for him to make a full recovery before he comes home.
