My grandma (mom's side) had a huge stroke yesterday afternoon. Thankfully, my uncle was right there with her and was able to call 911 right away. It was in the right side of her brain, so she's still in there, but her body is broken. When I saw her, I barely recognized her, her face was dropping, eyes rolled in the back of her head, hair matted. This all on a woman who always looked her best, who doesn't even own "grubby" clothes. It knocked the wind out of me.
We don't know yet how much of her previous functionality will be recoverable, but everything changes from here. Whatever she does get back will be after a long and painful series of rehab. And if she ever does go home, there will have to be major changes to her house.
The worst part? She was recently talking about how her mom had a stroke that did her in, and how she was worried about herself. So it's genetic....
