Good Tuesday Morning

I feel like my titles are on repeat this week. I just don't really have another good one. Gram came back from her appointment and it just wasn't good. I have to say I saw this coming and while I'm upset, I'm not surprised. So they found the three masses a couple weeks ago and they had already said they were cancer. So I've had time with it. Her age and how she feels, I knew she wasn't going to go with chemo. I was right. Without the chemo to slow it down they're giving her about three months. I am upset but there's something to be said for knowing what's going on and not being blindsided by it. The last time we called on dad last night, his heart beat went into normal rythym for about an hour then went back to a-fib. That was good news. As of last night they haven't given him any more blood or platelets, they'll check his numbers again around four this morning. Basically he's still pretty stable. They took a lung swab to see if the antibiotics are helping and if they're clear they think they're going to try putting him on C-PAP again. That way he would be taking his own breaths even though he'd still be on the vent. I was putting up books all day yesterday. Got all the way to the J's before hubby came home. I'll work on them for a few this morning as well, I'm just trying to keep the mess down. The shop got another order yesterday. This time for car coasters which I was happy to do. I have the design, I'm currently cutting them out and I'll be pressing them before I leave. I didn't get to read yesterday because dinner was a little later than I had planned. That's ok though. It was a good dinner. Pork steak, julianne potatoes and broccoli. It was a healthy dinner. The NFL puzzle is still sitting on my board waiting for it's missing piece. I really need to email someone about that before I start gluing it. I'm working for Chris today. She said grandmom met the other woman who will be taking Thursday and Friday and that it went well. I'm glad. It doesn't affect what I can do but I'm glad she found a solution. She said she's trying to get more help from her insurance as well which she may or may not get. Honestly her grandmother isn't that bad. She ahs bad days but I'm not sure they're consistent enough to get her actual help. That whole relationship got complicated again and I've pretty much just retreated from it. I don't have the energy to put into figuring it all out right now. I know that sounds bad but I just don't right now. I'm really glad that my husband is back, he's been a rock since he has. I've got one busy month next month. So the third is my birthday, the fourth is the fire department's 50th anniversary celebration, the fifth is the department monthly meeting. Then the 13th I work for EMS, the 14-17th I finally got my TOSHA class which is from 8-5 and then on the 17th-19th is extrication recertification. Fun times right lol. What is everyone else up to? By the way it isn't even 4am here yet and it's raining like crazy

Thank you for the update. I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother. At my age, I might make the same decision.

I figured she would. We're going to try to convince her to move in with us. No clue what we'll do with the house but we'll figure it out.

Thank you. No, she is my maternal grandmother. Dad lost his parents when I was a kid.
