Sad news at home

My Grandfather just lost his leg above the knee last week over the weekend to diabetes. He has a family history of very bad circulation in the legs and it finally caught up with him. The doctor wanted to take his leg higher up but due to several hip replacements opted for taking it just above the knee. We're not related by blood non-the-less I can't help but see a bit of my own future if I don't my own diabetes issues under control. My heard goes out to the guy and as far as I'm concerned he's family hopefully we can make his remaining days comfortable and enjoyable at least. With any luck there will be many more but as my sister said just before the surgery despite the fact that his mind and spirit are incredibly strong but his body is shot to hell.
