A close one...
My Grandpa has been in the hospital for the past five days and he'll be there for another four days. The good news is today they found out what was wrong. It turned out to be Cirrhosis of the Liver from repeated antibiotic use due to a bacterial issue in his legs. He went in with major blood loss. Normal red blood cell count is supposed to be in between 11 and 14, his was 2.8 and the lab couldn't even recognize is as blood (they thought the ER was playing a joke on them)...
He's getting closer to stable. Today his count was 8.6. He's got a few choices ahead of himself that I'm sure he and my Grandmother can handle. They're both very strong people. So, sorry if I've been a bit distant lately but I finally feel like I'm not holding my breath anymore.
Jeremiah and I have both been down with colds since early Monday. He's much worse than me but its still hard taking care of him and taking care of myself at the same time. It was like murder to get some decent Sudafed today now that the stuff is OTC. Wal-Mart was cleaned out so I had to go to Walgreens... not fun when your head is all stuffed up and you're dizzy.
Hopefully by Friday I'll feel good enough to go to Rocky Horror. It seems to be the only thing I really do outside the house for night time fun anymore. Mostly because it's once every couple of weeks, it's cheap and we are on a shoe string budget till Christmas is over.
Since January is a five paycheck month we'll hopefully get a washer. They're getting to know me a little to well over at the local laundry mat if you ask me. (Random fact I know)
Being sick does have some advantages. I've finally gotten to watch most of the animes I haven't gotten around to watching since they've been downloaded and I've gotten really into this game from WiiWare called World of Goo... kinda gross when you consider we both have colds now that I think about it. LOL
