My Grandma

Hello There My Lovelies,

Last Tuesday my grandmother ended up in the hospital. I wish I could write about it, but out of respect for her I really would rather not talk about her condition on my public blog.

We were all scared for her, but now she is healing and should be back home soon and on the road to recovery. I really wanted to make the drive and see her, but when I talked to my grandma over the phone, she said preferred that I didn't see her like that.

Something about my family........ My aunts, uncles and cousins really stepped up to take care of her, look after my grandpa and hold the fort down.

The hospital staff was wonderful when I called. The nurses understood the emotions I was going through and did not try to rush me off the phone. They were open to me visiting and even said that I could spend the night with my grandma if I wanted to. They told me "That's your grandma, I know how it is."

Here in the SF Bay Area, hospitals have strict visitation hours and kick you out after. Plus the nurses are more overworked.

Anyway, I was just happy that so many people love my grandma and that she was well taken care of. She had a lot of people stop in to visit, and a lot of people called, and a lot of people are stepping up to the plate to help her recover. That's all I really want for her.

I really admire my grandma's attitude through all of this. She wants to get back to work as soon as she can. She is almost 89. I hear family members saying that she needs to slow down, and that she needs to stop working, but I respectfully disagree with them. If she wants to work hard, let her work hard. It gives her drive, and it makes her happy. I think I would want to follow the same path.......
