kitty-eared-girl's Journal, 05 Aug 13

Feeling kind of 'blah'. Got a call from my mom last week while I was at work, she was in tears thinking that my grandmother was dying. She had spoken to her, and my grandmother told her everything tasted 'brown' and she doesn't really eat anything anymore. She said my grandmother admitted to not remembering how to move her car, too. This is a problem, not just because my grandmother is old, but because she lives alone a whole coastline away from my parents, and another 4-5 hours from there to me.

I told mom to not worry as much, that forgetfulness comes with age, and that over the last few weeks in talking to grandma (I call her every Monday night after work) she was non-stop about ice cream for at least a month! I don't think she would've made that up, either.

Spoke with mom yesterday, and she said that grandma made it to her Dr's. appointment, and requested to be hospitalized. So she's currently in the hospital, tests are being run because they seem to think there's an issue with her upper GI tract (they told my mom that this is common in older patients, and that they aren't putting her on an IV because they don't think it's necessary yet....but at the same time they requested my mom get some Ensure sent to the hospital).

I'm more concerned now with the news from the hospital than I was when mom called, and she's just the opposite. She seems more calm because this is 'common', and according to her, my grandmother isn't dying. I'm sorry, but the last time I checked when you get old and stop eating, it's a sign of death approaching. I'm trying to stay calm, but I'm really frustrated with the whole thing (and I know it's affecting me because I had a coworker call me out on being different).

I've got another telephonic coaching session with my weight coach Wednesday. Oh, and the contacts seem to be working out fine. Was told to only wear them for a few hours, wore them all day and slept in them last night.


Happy Monday
