ok this is getting to be to much
My sister just called me and my grandmother has taken a very bad turn for the worse. She's 94, has diabetes, dementia, smoked for 70 years and is just in overall bad health and has been for a very long time. Hospice was called in a few weeks ago and we were told she may live a week, may live a year and they would do the best they could to keep her comfortable. To many bad things happening to people close to me. 4 funerals for friends, dad has cancer, dog has a stroke, uncle has a heart attack and stroke and now grandma. I think that constitutes a pretty friggin screwed up 10 months. What's next?

Re: ok this is getting to be to much (B.R.ONE)
Just a little update, she has diabetes and her feet don't get good circulation because of it. Because of this she has a wound on her foot that has been there for about 2 years and won't heal. It's now gotten so bad that the wound on her foot is what will end up killing her. The doctors have said that they need to amputate the foot but they have no doubt at all that between the surgery, recovery and therapy, she would never survive. Now the wound is infected and Sepsis has set in and THAT is what is killing her. What an absolutely awful way to go. They have her on a very high dose of Morphine to keep her "comfortable" but it isn't going to be long. After seeing her today (it's been 2 weeks since I was there) she won't make it very long. She's has a VERY rough life and hasn't been at peace with herself for as long as I can remember, so in a way she's going to be much better off. At least she'll finally be at peace.
