Grandma Spiehs and Her Upcoming Surgery

• I've been nervous about my mom (Grandma Spiehs to the boys) getting her ankle fused for a long time now! I think I first learned about her needing to do this way back when I was in college. I hate that she got Polio, and I hate that she's suffering from it after all these years!
• Then it came time this fall when she actually decided it was time.
• Now it's scheduled for this Friday.
• The worry didn't officially set in until I asked for days off here at work.
• The surgery will take roughly 3 hours. The recovery will be rough too!
• I just wish that she didn't have to go through it!
