02 June 2004
This was not a good day, by far. Woke up late, got to class, didn't realize I locked Andy in my room, and he had a fit peeing and pooping all over my room. So, that was fun to clean. Then I had a million and 1 errands to run... But when I got home, there was a message from Gumpy (my grandpa) saying "call me back as soon as you get this". He leaves messages like that all the time, and I rarely call back, bc its usually unimportant, but this time his voice was different. He said Nana had fallen and couldn't really move. That she wouldn't go to the hospital but that she was in a lot of pain. I heard her yelling at him for calling and telling me (she's a private person to say the least) but I called and told mom who told me go to up there and make her go to the hospital bc she wont yell at me. So I drove to Baltimore and took her to the hospital. Today, June 2, 2004, my grandmother's life changed forever. She broke her hip. She now has to have a pin put in sometime in the next few days, and she has to stay in the hospital for about 15 days, which leaves my 90 year old grandfather to be alone, with no one to drive him anywhere or help him out. I've always heard how elderly people can simple fall over and that's it... But it really happened. She was outside sweeping away the stupid Cidadas when she tripped and that was that. It's amazing, she drinks more milk that anyone I've ever met, and yet her bones are still so brittle. I told her next time she wants me to come up and visit with her, that she should just call, not break a hip! Well, I've been in the ER all day, so it's about time to try to sleep some. If you can please pray for my grandparents... That would be so wonderful. Thanks
