Grandma Still Hanging in there.
Mood: Sad and Still
Well, the family is all here. We sit and wait to comfort each other. Grandma has been given the last rites and they have told us this is it two other times. Call in the family. Well, seems grandma is not ready to leave this earth yet. She always had a fisety spirit and no one or anything was gonna tell her what to do.
She is bleeding internally and her liver has given up. She is given pain meds every two hours. She has stopped eating and drinking. Yet, last night she sat up and told her sons that she wanted to leave this place. She ordered them to take her home. She is just to uncomfortable there. She has a DNR order. So, we have no idea why she is bleeding internally.
She will not give up until she is good and ready too.... we all laugh a little about that. My husband is still in shock. He can not understand that she is dying. She has been in his life since he was born. He remembers all the sunday dinners and the family gatherings. It just is not right for this to be happening to his grandma. He chooses to remember her when they were both young. I guess that is a good thing.
Well, life can be sad at times. We all know that. So, much going on in everyones lives. It is Labor Day today. I don't even know why we celebrate it. Never really thought of it. It just meant to me that it was the end of summertime. Memorial Day is the beginning. So, now we must prepare for the fall and then the cold hard winter we suffer up north. I hope we all don't freeze to death with the oil and gas prices.
I feel so sorry for those people that are in dire straights and have nothing at all. I mean nothing. No jobs, no homes, no clothes, no sense of where they will end up. I wish I could take some of those people in. I wish I owned a business and could set them up here. I can not imange what they must be feeling. I am so mad at Bush for taking so darn long to help these people. No one should have had to go so long without water and food. The babies that depend on their parents to feed them and shelter them. The parents must feel just so helpless. I do not know how I would fair out in a situation like that with my childern. There is just too much dispare.
Well, I must go now. I hope all is well with my fellow bloggers. Smiles and Giggles to you all.
