when does it end?
spence went to mass general hospital, not for any tests,checkups, or appt.s but as a visitor to see his grandfather who had a stroke on sunday. the stroke was in a different part of the brain and not as severe but a stroke nonetheless. his grandfather went thru the same trauma unit (an omg for me as it brought back memories of 1/26) and is now on the same 12 th floor. not the same unit, with spence you got out of the elevator and went left and with his granddad you go right. when we arrived poppop was having a CT scan so we made our way to the ICU. He got to see the doctor who did the first surgery to bust up the clot,as well as Mr bone flap (DR Chen) they were amazed to see him. of course we had him show off by walking a few steps,they were even more amazed.
something myself and my mom both noticed was how poppop perked up when he saw spence. i guess a new bonding of the strokies. or a "hey spence i know what you've been thru and it sucks"
i just hope or i know spence will pass along his strength to his grandfather in his recovery!!
everyone's prayers and good thoughts has worked for spencer so lets add his grandfather (David A Nuttall Sr.) to them

OK Spence. This is where "Pay it Forward" comes in to play. Give poppop the strength and fortitude he needs. We'll see you on the 6th.
love you, the Florida Nutts
PS Rest of the fam, hang in there.
