Hi everyone. Well I was released from the hospital today when I was not suppose to be. The call came in from my brother that my grandfather is going to die. They have brought him home and have hospice there with him. The hospital released me but I will be returning when I get back from seeing him/ funeral etc. Me and my husband drove the 6 hr drive today to Zion Ill so I could say goodbye. I guess people get better right before they go. That is how they explained it to me. He was not eating and drinking or talking for 2 days and all of a sudden he started to talk and do these things. They said no to take it as he is getting better. Usually they will get a spirt where it seems like everything is good when indeed it is the end. I was just starting to talk with the docs at the hospital to figure ME out and then this happend. I am feeling kinda down tonight. It is alot to deal with being so stressed out just trying to get better. Thought I would let you all know what was going on.

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
I hope you can get back in to see the docs and begin feeling better soon.
It is true that people usually get better just before death, or seem to be doing better, rather. I'm not sure why that happens, but it's a good thing, I think. It's good to know his last moments will be spent with him feeling better.
Take care of yourself, love. When you are able to go back into the hospital, go back to focusing on YOU and work on the greiving process. I'm rooting for you!
I wont say I wish you luck thats just not the right words... but I wish you strengh and comfort in this hard time.
(((((many hugs)))))
I have worked in several nursing homes, and that does seem to be often true, when someone has been sick -- once they have given up the fight, they relax and feel better for a short time - but they are actually shutting down.
My condolences to your family, and I am glad you are also going back to the hosp. when it is over, so they can help you.
God bless you and your family, I'll be praying for all of you.
I'm so sorry you are going through all this!!! YOu are in my thoughts and prayers my dear!
you will get back on track once this is over. Not being able to say goodbye would have been one more thing to add to the lsit of I could have...Now you have and Im sure when itsall said and done your grandfather would want you to look after you...
