Fairly serious, but he's doing well. He's been having gastric issues/stomach pain for nearly 3 years now. The doctor he's been going to has just been passing it off and changing his meds. My dad finally got involved and forced him to get a second opinion. That doc scheduled a colonoscopy but they couldn't perform it because they found a huge blockage in his large intestine on the scans. How the first quack didn't see it on his scans, we don't know. I have a feeling there may be a lawsuit brewing, my parents are pissed.
So Thursday he had to go under the knife, they took out ~5" of his large intestine and looked for any other signs of anything but thankfully was clear. The surgeon thinks it may have been cancerous but we won't know till the labs come back. But he said they got it all. My grandpa hasn't been in too bad of pain thankfully. Mostly out of it and groggy but did eat and drink some Saturday/Sunday. I got an update from my mom this morning, the surgeon said he's healing up very well and doing better than expected. They've had him up and walking several times yesterday/today and he "gets to graduate to cream of wheat" today, whatever that is. Hopefully he'll get his NG tube out today. He also turned 87 Saturday, not exactly what we had in mind
