I was truly blessed in life with 2 sets of wonderful grandparents whom I adored..
I have 1 grandparent left.. my paternal grandmother who is going to be 86 in a week..
Today a strange number popped up on my phone and when I called it back it was a hospital..The operator had no idea of course who called me and immediately my heart sunk..I have received these calls before..I was scared..A few minutes later the phone rang and it was the same number and the voice I heard was my Grandma..
She proceeded to tell me she fell and broke 2 bones in her neck..of course I immediately started crying like a baby..
My Grandmother is legally blind but can see alittle out of one eye..She didnt know how it happened exactly but as she started describing the scenario it became clear she had a stroke..
She said the only complaint she had was the neck brace was uncomfortable!
Every test,blood work,MRI,cat scan etc...came back pretty good for an 85 yr old woman and apparently it was a mild stroke.
I am so very thankful because sincerely I can not lose another loved one..
My Grandmother is not going to live forever I do realize that but as she said tonight..she is not going anywhere anytime soon.And Im so glad she feels that way because we need her around another 20-30 yrs!
