when it rains, it pours.

So, my grandfather's surgery went amazingly well. He's recovering at a rate that even impresses the doctors.
But now, my grandmother is in the hospital with developed congestive heart failure. I stayed with her in the hospital from 11pm to 4am, until they moved her from the emergency room to a corner of ICU. The doctors have her hooked up to all kinds of machines and they had to bring the paddles in because her heart rate and blood pressure rose to extreme levels because the fucking doctors wouldn't listen to me when I said she was in pain. Bending an old woman forward when her granddaughter is warning you she has awful arthritis is not a good idea.
When she was asked if she wanted to be saved if she went under, she told them no. I've never felt so broken before in my life.

If anything happens to her, I will lose it. I can't even imagine my life without her yet.
