Grandma

My mom called me last night to tell me that the nursing home called.  They said that my grandma was now on oxygen as she said she was unable to take deep breaths.  They also said she had lost 10 pounds in the last month.  Evidently her dementia/senility/Alzheimers is really bad too.  They said she sort of seems to be giving up, ready to move on.  It’s such a sad situation.  My grandma has had no quality of life for the last 10 years or so.  Now she basically is all alone since she can’t remember who she even is.  It is sad to say that better news would have been that grandma passed away peacefully in her sleep.  At least her misery could come to an end that way.   I can’t stress enough how much I don’t ever want to be in that situation. Kill me, please.

This weekend I would like to go back to the demolition derby although I’m not sure Ali shares my enthusiasm. We may have the neighbor over to check out the Wii, we gave him a quick preview last night and he thought it was too cool.  We may start trimming back the damaged plant life around the house.  I am hoping the fruit trees are ok.  Initially they didn’t look bad, now several of them have dropped tons of leaves.

Don’t have much more to add, maybe more later.
