Just going to update on my grandpa, for now.
Got to visit him today with my uncle Dale, who has been going out of his way to take me to visit him a whole lot.
Grandpa was particularly irritable this time, but he was also trying to move around a whole lot. He seemed to have a lot of energy. But, he was also very angry, and shouted / cursed at us whenever we wouldn't do what he wanted us to, which was difficult / impossible, considering we could not understand him half the time. He kept wanting us to remove the special gloves he had to wear (to prevent him from ripping out his IV), and he'd get angry when we said we could not. He kept demanding that I do that anyway, so I just started telling him that I didn't know how to, and that seemed to help some.
It just frustrates me to no end that I can't do a whole lot more for him. I'm very worried that as he "gets better", he'll still be very confused, and will not be allowed to do simple things like get out of bed, even if / when he builds up enough strength to do so. :(
