...GUGA is in Canonsburg hospital and not expected to come home. She has double pnunomnia (forgive my spelling for the moment) and they found a mass on her lung. It doesn't look good, she's 85 and not in the best of health.
I have to say, I've never been that fond of the woman, she's mean as a wet cat on a freezing day but I don't want her to go out like this. She's been looking frail and out of it for months, well the last two years really and this past July 4th she really looked bad but we didn't know she was this sick. She's been batteling the pneumonia off and on for the last 5 years or so and even gave up smoking (if you can believe it) and was on breathing treatments several times a day for the last few years.
I'll keep you updated, but I honestly think we're going to have to cancel our Christmas party plans as I see us at a funeral soon.
I'm sitting here at my cube crying and I don't even like this woman much, but I DO love her. kind of like my father's family, I don't like them or respect them, but I DO love them and it hurts that I'm not part of them. I search the obits just to make sure I don't miss my own grandma's passing. How sad is that?
This on the heals of realizing my Grandma Mary is going down hill is really not giving me a whole lot of Christmas Spirit. Damnit I hate the holidays...but at least it's not Easter this time. One more grandparent lost at Easter and I think I'd lose my mind...really.
So pray for Guga and for Drew and my in-laws, none of them are doing too well right now. Turns out she got really sick ON Thanksgiving but only allowed herself to be hospitalized Yesterday.
