Grandparents

My grandparents are the most amazing people in the world. My parents had a period of criminal insanity. If it weren't for my grandparents, I would be more insane than I am. They are the first people who loved me unconditionally. I didn't get that from my parents. My parents aren't bad people, but there was a time when it didn't go well between us, and my grandparents loved me. I spent summers with them as a child, and there was nowhere I would rather be. My parents went on vacation one time and gave me a choice to stay with g&g or go with them, and I stayed with g&g. They are my safe place, and they live in the hood. I do visualization of my room at gramma lehman's when I'm anxious, to relax. It has been very hard to lose Grampa Lehman and watch Grampa Bales decline. Grampa Bales has parkinsons that is really affecting his mind. I'm obviously his favorite, and he forgot my name one day when I went to visit him. That was pretty tough. Gramma Lehman has been in descent health until hit by a truck. It is just scary and hard to grow up and lose the people that have always loved me.

Gramma Lehman

Last week,92 year old Gramma was at sams preparing for a family party (that actually got cancelled because of the course of events). She took her buggy and was heading to the car when she was hit by a truck. We don't know if she walked out in front of it or if he wasn't paying attention. She went to the ER by ambulance, and we were called. She had some bleeding on the brain which they watched for 24 hours. It leveled off, and they released her. Aunt Rita stayed the night with her for several nights. 2 nights ago Uncle Donnie went to check on her. She seemed fine. Then, she was paying bills and said something's wrong. Her hand felt numb. Then she couldn't get words out. She went to the hospital by ambulance again, and there was new bleeding on the brain. This morning, she has her speech back, and we are waiting excessively long for someone to read an mri to see if she had as tia or cva (mini-stroke or stroke). They are taking so dang long, because it won't change the course of treatment. They can't put her on blood thinners to prevent strokes, because it could increase the bleeding on the brain. They moved her from ICU to intermediate care today. We are watching and waiting...
Prayers appreciated.
