Things naturally don't stay good

[cornerofmadness]

Hospice called and grandma does have a respiratory infection, you know like Mom and I said yesterday and were poo-pooed. This nurse was shocked the other nurse couldn't have noticed this. It might be the end for grandma, or not. Too early to say. It's not the worst thing given her quality of life. It's draining my mother all of this.

I'm dealing with my own depression. Today has been very bad but I did get everything packed up. I'll be going home tomorrow. I'm not really ready for the semester. I haven't slept in days (full moon).

Tried to go to the church today to help mom water the christmas flowers and take one (they're giving them away this weekend) and Father hadn't bothered to have it plowed out. So much for that.

Did I mention Mom found my original sockmonkey she made for me? She put it in the freezer to kill any mites and we just soaked him in tide and clorox and he's somewhat cleaner. Stitched his tail back on. Now I have a 40+ year old sock monkey.

Happy birthday to zippitgood

ETA - Hospice just called the family in. Mom wants me to stay here in case phone calls come in and there just isn't room in the assissted living room for everyone.

Sorry to read about your grandmother, and your depression.

Sigh, about the flowers.

Thank you very much.

eh I don't really need a poinsetta. I was going to take Grandma's yesterday but decided she needed it more.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yeah. Agreed.

Aw, man. I'm sorry about your grandmother. :(

Thanks. When I saw her yesterday, I didn't think it would be much longer. It felt like the last time I would see her. She's still hanging in there but I doubt it will take much longer.

I'm sorry about your grandma. If it is her time, I hope it's an easy death.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. she passed this morning

From you're recent posts, as difficult as it is, it sounds like in the end this is for the best.

Much love to you and your mom.

It is. She had no quality of life left so I'm not exactly sad that her struggle has ended but of course sad that she is gone.

thank you
