OT: Update on my grandma | Arthritis Information

Share
 

Well the surgey is scheduled for first thing friday morning so i am driving out with my dad and older brother Thursday afternoon.  My dad gave out a few more details about it that he hadn't before.  The surgery is more to make her comfortable, that it is not for the cancer itself for that the cancer is inoperable.  The drs aren't sure how well she is going to make it through the sugery since she is not in the best of health to begin with.  My grandpa is not doing well emotionally.  I have never seen my grandfather cry or show any kind of emtotion like that but I know I will this weekend and my dad says that he already has shown a lot of emotion.  My grandparents are in their 80's, they grew up in that generation that my grandpa didnt show emotion to the kids at all.  Its jus been since recently that he actually say "I love you" we all know he does but he just doenst come out and say it.  So...anyway...I wont have acces to the internet (my grandparents dont even have an answering maching let alone internet lol) so if i have the chance I will stop over my aunts and come on and update yall on how it went.  If not I have wonderful Ms Katie's phone number and i'll call her and she'll update for me.. If you could continue being awesome and keeping us in your toughts and prayers while traveling and for during the surgery we'd all appeciate it

Shan you gotta let me know what time the surgery is, if I'm at work I'll have to give you my work number.

Dear god don't worry about calling me there, season is over. This is the time we all stand around wondering what the hell to do the rest of the year.


I hope it goes well. Maybe it will make her more comfortable. I'm so sorry hun. :(
Will keep you and your family in thought and prayer Shannon.

 

 Shannon you and your grand parents will be in my thoughts and prayers

Hugs,

Jen

Tell gramma that she has a whole team of Internet loonies praying for her. Shannon me and my family will be praying for you and your family,and travel safely.HUGS

Shannon I'll be praying for you.  Take all of your comfort items...I left some of my meds at home...stupid!!!!  Take care of yourself.  Are you still taking Kelsay? 

Just remember that we love and miss you.

 

Shannon,I am so sorry about your Grandma. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Be sure to take care of yourself, too. It's so easy to forget about your own needs when you are helping others get through times like this. But it is very important. Be sure to eat right and try to get enough sleep. You will need all your strength, Sweetie.

Take care and know that we are all right beside you.

Gentle hugs & love,

Nini

Shannon - your grandma and the rest of your family are in my thoughts. I hope the surgery will make things more comfortable for your grandma.

Take care

Linda

awwww thanks for all the kind words guys.  I will for sure pass them along to my grandma.

Lynda~  Sure you can adopt me!! The more family the merier right lol

No, Kelsay will be staying home.  My other grandma is going to watch her Thursday, hubby is staying home Friday and my mom is taking her, my little brother and the dog up to Lake Geneva for the weekend.  Hubby and I had a HUGE argument about why im not taking Kelsay w/ me and how i shouldnt shelter her.  If/when something is to happen (ive gotta think logicly) I dont want her last memory to be of GG in the hospital and I highly doubt that GG wants that to.  Its going to be a very stressful weekend and adding Kelsay to the mix is going to make it even harder.  If there are people here that will take her I might as well use it right?  Am I making the right decision?

well...change of plans. My grandpa just called my dad and said they are going to do the surgery tomorrow (thursday) instead of Friday.  My dad left a message for my brother (hes a teacher) and then we'll go from there.  Im not sure what that means on terms of when we are goin out. 
Katie~What time do you work tomorrow same time as Friday?I know how you are feeling right now, I'm going through something similar right now with my dad. My thoughts are with you and I hope all goes well.

ok folks...we are going to be leaving anytime.  As soon as my dad can get out of work today he is going to come pick me up.

Thanks for all the prayers!! 
Katie, I'll give you a call as soon as i know something

I'm sending my prayers up Shannon. Be safe.

AWWW MAN. I missed her. Poop. Hope she leaves a v-mail.....

 

Shannon if you get to check this up at your aunts, Thursday I work 12:30-9 but just call either number everyone here at work is really nice so they'll tell you I'm not working. Take care!!!
