Back to Illinois

My grandfather TC has passed away early this morning. He was a tough ole coot, that's for sure. Ten years ago he went into the hospital where he was informed he needed a quadruple bipass. But my grandpa, oh hell no, he was not going to let no doctor operate on him. They gave him 6 months to live without receiving the operation. So what was his solution? Well just go home and let life take care of itself. Well, 6 months passed, a year passed... He went back to the doctor, who was amazed that he was still among the living. How did this happen? My grandfather's heart had created a natural bypass over the surface of his heart. Which meant he had the worst circulation in the world, but he kicked around long enough to see a few great-grandchildren come along. Rest in peace grandpa, I'll be taking off to Illinois for the funeral after work today.
