My grams fell: UPDATED She is in the hospital
UPDATE: I finally got her admitted into the hospital friday night at around midnight. I wouldn't leave her until I saw her get into a room (around 3am). I stayed the entire weekend with her. Saturday she was a in GREAT spirits, talking to me about the old days, asking me when I was a having a baby, making the nurses laugh.
Yesterday----she literally had no idea why she was in the hospital. She thought she was home and asked why was I there. I am so emotionally done and exhausted. All I have been doing is crying since last night.
I mean I know it could be A LOT worse, but to see her so helpless, so NOT MY GRAMS.....
My 89 year old gramma has been staying with my parents for the past 2 weeks. We are working on getting her into an assisted living facility, bc currently she lives by herself in Riverhead (they live in old westbury, so it's a commute to see her)
Anyway we know she is living with dementia so there are both good and bad days.
Last night she fell, flat on her face. I mean I know she is 89, but this was the woman who at 80 was dating a 69 year old man (who had NO idea she was 80 and driving a convertable)...
It's just so hard to see this independant woman trsnforming right in front of me.

Re: My grams fell: UPDATED She is in the hospital
Nancy, I know what it's like to have a grandparent with dementia, I feel your pain. It's horrible watching them go through it but she's very lucky to have such a loving granddaughter. I'm here if you ever want to talk/vent/cry.
