just a quick blog to thank all of you who have commented on my last blog or have read it. your sympathies for my grandmother mean a lot to me!
for those who haven't read my last blog ... my grandmother who is going on 92 was brought to the hospital on tuesday under the suspicion of having a heart attack. turned out that she had had a heavy cystitis and she was having fluid on her lungs (i don't know if that was from this infection of her blister) and her heart wasn't able to cope with all this anymore and she got arrhytmia.
one of the difficult things about her being in hospital was, that my parents had gone on holidays to spain on monday, one day before her breakdown. of course my mother and my father were dead worried about her being in hospital, but my uncle told them to still enjoy their stay. my uncle's wife though doesn't seem to understand, that my parents didn't return home. that left me worried (i guess i'm too addicted to harmony in the family) and drove my sister absolutely furious (maybe i shouldn't have told her what my aunt had said and i most definitely am never ever going to tell it to my parents), because my mother's always taking care of my grandmother when she is around and i think she is a very good and caring daughter. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh ...
well, anyway, while my sister and me went to the hospital every day now, my uncle and my aunt prefered to play golf on saturday and sunday (at least my uncle had seen and spoken her several times as well), so i don't think that my aunt is entitled to judge my partents for not coming home. i'm sure that if my grandmother had asked for them to do so, they would have right away but my grandmother's biggest worry was, that she might spoil my parents' holidays. enough of the family quarrels but i had to write this from my chest because it really bothered me and blogging sometimes has a really therapeutical value ... ![]()
back to my grandmother ... the small intervention she had on thursday went very well and she can breath much better now
. today was the first day she wasn't wired in any way and didn't have any infusions anymore. her sweet, old smile has returned. she smiles a lot with her eyes and they really are shining again.
looks like she might be able to return home tomorrow or on tuesday. i can't tell you how happy and delighted i am!
thanks again, folks, for commenting!
i still haven't gotten along to comment to all your blogs but i definitely will, as soon as my emotions and my head are under full control again ... i've seen that there are some really interesting blogs there ... ![]()
