Hey all I need as much positive energy as I can get sent our way. My grandmother has had a tough weekend. Saturday my mother called her up and she was sounding very drunk almost. She called me and we all rushed down there thinking she had a stroke. Turns out it was a combination of her not eating during the day, not taking her medication that she was supposed to and cutting off some of her oxygen supply because of the way she was on the sofa. She was fine after a while and we left her overnight by herself, but not with out triple checking that she was okay. Then yesterday I get a call from my mother saying that she's been rushed to the hospital because her tenants next door came to check on her and she was almost completely unconscious. All she could say was my name over and over. They found that her blood sugar level was at 37, which is very bad. They kept her there for a few hours. Ran some tests on her to check everything out. The damn doctors didn't see her for damn near 4 hours before they came to talk to my mother. Meanwhile my poor grandmother was in an enormous amount of pain with her legs. They didn't want to give her anything until they got the blood work back so she had to lay there in pain. They checked her blood sugar and it was at 40 once again too low. They gave her something to eat then checked it again and it was at 130 which is good. They finally released her at 6:30 last night and told my mother that she is severely anemic, her blood sugar needs to be monitored and she has to see her doctor in the morning on Monday (today). My mother stayed with her overnight, but I didn't dare leave her till I knew for myself everything that was going on.

I know she wants to give up. She doesn't have much of an appetite anymore, she's very weak especially in the knees and legs. Trust me I'm one of the last people that want her to pass on. She helped raise me since I was an infant. I just don't want her to suffer anymore and I'm hoping that no one else in my family tries to hold on to her for their own selfish reasons.

You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep us posted how she is doing, K?

I want to send some positive energy to your family.

You all will be in my thoughts. Hope things will take the easiest course possible for your grandmother.

Thanks for the prayers and thoughts. She's doing better as of right now. She still has pain in her knees and legs, but she's seeing an orthopedic doctor on Wednesday morning. They are having her keep a log of her blood glucose with a monitor 3 times a day. She sees her doctor at the end of the month and they will be better able to tell what is going on with her then. For right now she just has to make sure she moves as much as she can so her legs don't go completely stiff and eat small meals throughout the day.
