Honestly, can't think straight right now. Rain will do that to a person. Oh, and finding out that your grandmother is a vegetable right now, and has pretty much less than a month to live. That'll definitely do it too.
So, she has been fighting cancer for about 2 years. Things were looking ok, it was in remission.
Grandmother 1, Cancer 0.

Well, it decided to make a replay so to speak. The next thing we know, she is going through 3 different chemo treatments, hospitalized once, she fell and couldn't get up and laid on the floor for several hours, can't eat, can't do anything but sleep.
Cancer 3,901, Grandmother 0.

So, she went into a hospice as of Tuesday. And she's on so many meds that she is asleep 23 1/2 hours out of the day. Wonderful.

Isn't that great. And here, me celebrating because I lost 10 pounds. *makes sad face* Well, at least the rain matches my mood.

Peace,
~R~ :rose:

******EDIT*******
So, not long after this initial entry, my mother called to inform me that my grandmother had passed. She passed at about 11pm, on Tuesday, May 21st. She went quitely, just never woke up, and just stopped breathing. At least she is no longer in pain.

Thanks to my well wishers. I do appreciate the support. :)

Cancer is an awful thing, for the person stricken with it and the family and friends that love them.

I really can't say anything more then "I'm sorry."

Congrats on losing weight. Though I'm terribly sorry about your grandmother. That must be extremely tough. No one in my family (well, people not counting animals) has died. None that I was that close to anyway. I'm very very sorry. If you ever need someone to talk to let me know. All she needs to know is that you love and care for her. And I'm sure she knows you do. Hang in there :hug:

Thanks A. I miss you guys over there in Brandon world. Hows it going besides that?

It's much better now that we have a new full-timer and a part-timer. Makes work much easier. We miss you too. How is it at BDL?
:iconricandaleir:
I'm not at BDL anymore. I'm at FEN. Silly. But it's ok over here in South Tampa land. I'm getting used to it.
