The summer before her surgery
What better way to appreciate Gran's story than to experience some of her wit.
Yesterday when I was talking to her she got us both laughing b/c she told me she named her hernia 'Herman'!
I wasn't sure if I heard her correctly so I asked her - 'Did you just tell me you named the swollen area on your stomach, Herman?!'
I think the oddity of what she said hit her and she began to laugh. "Yeah, Herman my hernia. He is not too bad today, but on some days he really acts up and I have to tell him to chill out."
That is typical Gran. Somehow in the midst of all this pain and sickness she consistently finds a way to bring some levity to the situation.
