Grumpy gets a new ticker

For the last couple of month, Grumpy has been having a few heart issues.  Now, I won't go into detail because being Grumpy, he doesn't necessarily agree with anyone on the diagnosis, etc.  Anywhoo, yesterday morning, he received a pacemaker to keep his ticker going.

Highlight of Grumpy's hospital visit was my night staying with him. Every time I've been in the hospital, the room has some sort of reclining chair that acts as a mattress.  Well, the North Georgia Medical Center had a chair but I wouldn't call it a mattress chair. Let's just say it had been used a few times and the reclining feature wasn't exactly top notch.  The other good news, a nurse came into the room every hour to check in on him and felt the need to wake me up too.  I'd say it was a great bonding experience, but Grumpy was on drugs and I was just sitting in said chair.

Regardless, we both survived and lived to tell about it.  Grumpy did great in the hospital and I"m excited to see him back on the running trail and just generally being Grumpy.  Not sure what we would do without his daily grumpified POV on things.

Congrats on the new ticker, Grumpy! We are all proud of ya!
