Update.

Dad, Dean and Kate left the hospital yesterday evening to get a bit of rest, but two hours later, the nurses called them back. No one expected Grandma to last the night.

I talked to Dad an hour ago, and she's still with us. Unresponsive, but her body won't let her go.

If you pray, please pray for release for her. She's been unwilling to live for several years now, but her body just keeps chugging along, dragging her with it kicking and screaming. Or rather, her body's kicking and screaming, but her spirit is just too weary to give a shit. I don't believe she has any intention of waking up, if she's even there now.

A hospice room became available about two hours ago, but when I spoke to Dad an hour ago, they hadn't moved her yet. We'll see how it goes.

I'll keep you updated.

Honestly.

I sent an email to my boss this morning:

My grandmother took a very, very bad fall on Saturday evening and is unresponsive in the Trauma unit at North Memorial. She’s being moved to a hospice room, and no one expects her to be holding on much longer.

I wanted to let you know, as I’ll need to leave when she goes.

Thanks.

This is what she sent me back. Verbatim:

I hope all is well

.....

What the fuck?! Of course all isn't well, you moron. She's dying!!

And just because I'm in the mood to be irrational, I'll tell you all how bloody irritating it is that there was no signature, neither automatically added nor typed in, no name signed or whatever. Literally, that's all the response said. *rolls eyes very, very hard*

*******

In other news, she's been moved to a hospice room now, about seven this morning, actually. Dad says her breathing is slower and shallower now, and alternates between sounding like a percolator and sounding like a purring cat.

*sigh*

Finally.

She's gone. About twenty minutes ago, thank you, Lord.

True to form, she waited till everyone had gone home to shower and eat a meal. *rolls eyes*

But anyway, it's over. Thanks, all, for letting me vent today. I may have to do it more over the next week, but at least she's not just lingering anymore.

Just letting you know.

NOBODY expects the Spanish Inquisition!!

I love Michael Palin and John Cleese and Eric Idle and ... You know what? I love Monty Python.

That is all.

I also love James May. I love watching these toy shows he does!


OK, I'll quit spamming you all now.
