1 ~ 3 times a week Granny has a home health care worker come in and help her bathe, clean her room, etc. This week I am especially thankful for Tena coming over... Granny exclaimed "you can help me shower then you can cut my toenails" Inside my head I was cheering... That would had been my job if Tena didn't come over
2~ Sunday Granny fell in the kitchen while we were at church. She failed to use the panic button she is paying for to call for help.... Crawled into the living room & pulled herself up on the footstool.
I asked if she needed to go in to the emergency room, she answers no, no I'm fine...
Monday morning she gets up with new aches and pains... I repeat let's go in and have you checked out, she responds no, I'm fine... even dances a little jig....
Tuesday afternoon I take her to a doctor visit, he checks out her knee, takes xrays, she then brings up falling. According the xray her hip is great, no problem. We spent 2 hrs total. She's going to have the screws in her knee removed. Good I think she'll have less pain...
We get out to the truck & Granny proclaims in a wobbly voice, I need to go to the ER... I respond really! Ov vey, I said fine, can you walk in or do you need a wheel chair.. Wheel chair she replies...
I park her in the lobby & park the truck, as I walk in 3 ladies are helping her stating She fell on Sunday... I loudly say SHE REFUSED TO COME IN!!!!
After 2 1/2 hrs she was declared fine... after multiple xrays, blood test, observing, she is fine....
After we get back to the truck in her normal non-wobbly voice she suggest stopping for tacos for dinner...
I am thankful she didn't break any bones.....
2~ While I'm thankful hearing aids I would be so much more thankful if she turned them on instead o telling me loudly she can't hear me.....
I've heard it is hell to get old & I believe it more and more every day..
I've decided I am not going to get old, I am done aging as of today.....
