My Grandma is back in the hospital. We almost lost her in June and then again on Friday night. She has very bad osteoparosis (sp?) and COPD. Friday morning she hurt her back putting on her shirt. (She broke it back in May changing the sheets on her bed) My Gramps, being selfish like he is, decided to get all his stuff done before taking her to the Dr so she sat in pain by herself most of the day. It hurt to breathe, so she took shallow breaths and that wasn't letting enough oxygen in or carbon dioxide out. By the time he finally called my Uncle (who is an hour away--we are 4hrs away) because it was just too hard for him to call 911, her 02 sat was down to 60 and dropping. My Uncle had to go get her and then take her back to the Lake Hospital where she crashed. She did again on Saturday night while my parents where there. Once again, this could have been avoided had she had the care she needs. Honestly I think my Gramps wants her to die so he doesn't have to deal with her. It's not like he does much anyway, she still cooks his supper, does his laundry and sits alone all day while he's out running around or going for a ride on his new Spyder. Yet he whines that he has to stay home constantly to give her care. As soon as she's able to ride the 4 hours in the car, my folks are bringing her back here for us to care for.

Thanks Bayley Rose, I appreciate it!
