you may be surprised though- sometimes the elderly can suddenly rally- they did this with my grandfather and then 3 months later did the bypass surgery he wasn't strong enough for originally.. he did miss our wedding during the whole thing, and my cousins a year later because he was still not up for the travel, but he's still with us 6 years later.. there is still hope.
