In the last few days, both my maternal and paternal grandfathers have entered hospital…..
My maternal grandfather has been feeling ill for a while and I only learnt the other day that he’s been having internal bleeding…that just bought lots of memories flooding back, four years ago is when we lost Bryan, who also happens to be my maternal grandfathers son…….
So all we can do is pray and wait for the doctors to refer him for a colonoscopy on which there is a months waiting list.
Meanwhile just after hearing about him, I received another call from my mum saying that my paternal grandfather had been violently sick all day and had lost his co-ordination.
He’d even asked his son to call for an ambulance, now my paternal grandfather is of the generation where they just trudge on, so to hear my mum say that he’d asked for amulance was pretty alarming.
Been on phone to my parents, who thought it was a stroke and then the doctors confirmed it.
They have also been down to see him in hospital over last weekend and it was pretty upsetting for both of them, he can barely say three words and was close to tears as he couldnt say the stuff that he wanted to.
He’s down for physio but his age is against him.
