over the river and through the woods
I went to see my grandma today. She's not doing too well. She slept most of the time, waking up every 15 to 20 minutes. Then she'd light up a cigarette, take a puff or two and fall asleep with it in her hand. My dad had to wake her up every time, but in less than a minute she'd be asleep again. So basically I sat there with my dad watching TV while she drifted in and out of consciousness. It almost felt pointless being there. I tried to chat with her, but most of what I said I had to repeat 3 or 4 times because she couldn't hear or was half asleep. Then I ran out of things to talk about because she was barely responsive.
So I asked if her condition was supposed to get better, and was told that it will slightly improve, since she's done with the radiation. I hope so. Her birthday is coming up soon, and will probably be her last. It would be good if she wasn't so tired that she slept through the whole party. I'm talking myself into offering to take some shifts watching her, but really I'm scared that something really bad is going to happen on one of my shifts.
Ok, moving on. I'm trying to teach myself how to knit - again. I think it would be really cool if I could make scarves and stuff as gifts for people. Just thought I'd throw that in.
