Thank you all for your kind words yesterday.
Unfortunately, I have no news and won’t for awhile.
My grandma wasn’t able to have the biopsy yesterday after all, because she mistakenly had a glass of water.
I’m a little, okay more than a little, annoyed at the doctors for planning a fasting procedure for an 80+ year old woman at 2 p.m. on a 113 degree day.
When I called her yesterday she’d just gotten back from picking up some cookies for my grandpa (he has a crazy sweet tooth, it’s adorable) in the 113 degree heat! How could she go without water that long?
Also, she has low blood sugar, so making her fast that long shouldn’t be happening anyway. I hope the rescheduled biopsy is at a more reasonable hour.
From what I understand, it will probably be over a week after the biopsy before we’ll know the results so it could be two to three weeks. The SIL says they’ll know right away, but I’m not getting my hopes up for that. I’m just going to have to be patient and positive.
Today is her birthday, and it breaks my heart that she’s dealing with this worry when she should be celebrating.
My family may have a hard time expressing emotion, but I know we’re all united and ready to face whatever is coming for the most important woman in our lives. I know we would all gladly trade places with her if we could. All I want for her in the remaining years of her life is to suffer as little as possible.
I hate that I’m so far away, but I’ll be back home for Labor Day next month so I have that to look forward to.
Anyway, that will be all that I’ll say about this for now. I know it’s a huge bummer. Thanks again for all your support.
That irritates me too. I’m sure they scheduled the biopsy for whatever slot was open, but a little forethought would have been a nice touch. Hopefully they get her in right away. Waiting is sometimes the worst part.
Haha, I know logically they can’t revolve around her schedule, but dammit if I don’t think they should try!
Thinking of you.
major hugs to you my friend! i know what you are going through, and it isn’t easy. but a lady who drinks water in 113 degree heat AND picks up cookies sounds like a tough lady you can make it through
You’re right. She’s a force to be reckoned with, for sure
I’m sorry your grandma (and you and your family) are going through this. Dealing with a loved one’s illness is always so difficult on many levels. I’ll say a prayer for all of you.
Happy Birthday, g’ma!
Even though it’s a rough time, I’m wishing her the best of birthdays. Only happy thoughts today.
Thanks, it turns out she was in the hospital with grandpa all day, but I’m hoping to celebrate with her big time when I go home next month.
Hang in there girl, I will keep sending prayers and good vibes! And I’m sure she knows how much you care about her and that means the world to her. HAPPY BDAY KACY’S G-MA!!!
Thinking of you and your family. Hang in there girl
I missed yesterday’s post, but I will be thinking of you and sending good thoughts your way.
Oh honey, I am thinking of your grandmother and your family during this time. Hope all is well!!
