Grandma Update

We're finally moving grandma into hospice later today. The building she will be in is very nice and the staff even nicer. Those of us who have had a chance to visit already have all been impressed and pleased that a bed was available for her.

More family is coming to town this weekend. I'll drive out to the airport tomorrow to pick up my cousin who is coming on a one way ticket planning to stay until all is said and done. Honestly it will be really nice to have the extra support here. She'll be another person who isn't working or going to school while trying to manage being around for support and company as much as possible.

My body has gone into emergency mode again. While truly exhausted, I am managing fairly well. Emergency mode is only ever a short-term state, one that I am close to reaching the end of. When the bill comes due any day now the extra support of the incoming cousin is going to alleviate most of the inevitable guilt I'll feel when my body simply won't cooperate.

Of course,  there is no way to tell how long grandma has left but her doc doesn't think it will be long.
