Long day off
Well Jeff and I actually have a day off together. Just our luck - he woke up extremely sick today. I woke up to him jumping out of bed at about 10:30. He's finally getting some sleep on the couch - after we discovered that he can't even seem to hold water down. As I'm sure you all wanted to know. Hopefully after he sleeps for a while he'll feel a little better.
So I found out that my grandpa (Paw Paw) is still sick. He has another lung infection and he's been through 2 different sets of drugs trying to get rid of it but nothing seems to be working. He has a check up with his heart specialist in Tenn. tomorrow. Mom and Grannie think that they'll admit him again. I was also informed that he's giving up. He tired of being sick and in and out of the hospital. I don't blame him. This stuff has been going on since I was 12 - the major stuff any way. After his heart attack last year things have just gotten even worse. There is just so much tension in my family. All of us are just sitting on the edge of our seats. Just waiting in a way. I hate it. He is the one person in my family that really understands me. I'm closer to him than anyone. He was my only grandfather and my only "father figure" for 14 years of my life. If he does have to stay in the hospital again this week I think I'm going to go stay with him. I can't really afford to miss work - but at this point I could care less. I'll call in for the next month if I have to. In a way I feel really selfish. He's in pain - his heart and lungs are giving up on him - and I still can't just let go. I hate seeing him like this - but I'm not ready to be without him. He can't even make it through the house without stopping for a break. I'm not used to seeing him this weak. He's the strongest man I know. Just the fact that he's still here says a lot. He's been through 2 lung surgeries - a heart attack that killed him 3 times (thank god for amazing er doctors) - and heart surgery to put a defibrillator in - and he's still here. I think I need to take a break. I need some sleep - and I need to check on Jeff. I'm sure I'll be on later - nothing else to do at this point.
