We had a scare last week with my Grandma, she wasn't feeling well so my Mother removed her from her independent living arrangements. They visited the Urgent Care clinic, but didn't get much help (I am assuming) because my Mom just took her home and let her sleep that night. The next morning my Grandma was in so much pain that my Mom decided to take her to the ER, where she was diagnosed with shingles and admitted. They gave her some antibiotics and painkillers and she was feeling better by Saturday. My Mom was worried that she wouldn't pull through for a while there though, especially since she had a little bit of a bad reaction to the antibiotics.
Now my Grandma is going to live with my Mom instead of in her independent living arrangements. This will be a little hard on my Mom to have my Grandma living with her (granted this is her Mother), because my Grandma is a ornary person. Even the nurses agree, when my Mom stopped into the hospital to see her apparently Grandma had tried to hit people. Ah, nothing better than an 82 year old woman trying to slap you upside the head. Hide the guns! (from her)
And if you can, remember my Grandma in your prayers.
In other news, it's very sunny and warm here! Almost like a summertime, which is nice since most of our summer was a horrible rainy season. Yay for Indian Summers!
Posted by 10lees at September 9, 2007 09:38 AMHopefully she's coming home tomorrow as the antibiotics that are given orally will be working. I've got her room semi-set up. :) There's a bed and we brot over her vcr t.v. ;) and some tapes for her to watch ... Persuasion is first IF SHE WANTS. Will try to set up the movers for end of this week or next week. :) Then it's all done but the organizing - you should see the other bedroom - OH VEY.
Hopefully she'll be happier here ... PRAY!
Mom
Gramma's home now and sleeping well upstairs - she really likes her room - even though it's pretty much empty. The movers will be bringing everything over next Tuesday. Thanks for your prayers ... if anyone's listening. ;)
