Well..... my turn for hugs..... (sorry long) **update**
Wed afternoon my mil took my twins and tolld me to get my nails done for her. well after the lady puts the last coat of polish my cell rings... it my mom. My grandmother was just taken by ambulance becasue she was having chest pains. I race out to LI (im in queens) to SNCH. My grandmother had a minor heart attack.. maybe a clogged atrium. (waiting on tests) sooo thats 1 part of my bad news... well 2nd part is my grandmother was also just diagnosed with altziemers (sp) anyway shes been a little weird off and on but tonite!!! I was visitng her in the hospital (with my twins) and she was ok for like 15 min THEN she was adamant about not staying in the hospital. I told her she had to stay.. next thing i know shes ripping her iv's out and pulling the heart monitor off. I was sooo upset i grabbed my boys and took them to the car.. my mom settled her down and left (told the nurses that they can sedate her if necessary) I am now hom and got a phone call from her that she leaving.. and that they are doing bad things to her... i know its just the altzimers but OMG i dont even know how to handle this.. im soooo freaking scared and nervous..
Thanks for all who made it this far reading this. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day!
Update Thanks for all your hugs and understanding's!! it was def a long nite.. the nurses said she didnt sleep she just walked around all nite.. well shes home today and seems to be better for being home.
My grandmother is in the hospital too but not as serious as heart issues. She has Alzheimer's too. Luckily hers is more advanced & she doesn't know that she doesn't know so she's not scared.
I dont know if this helps at all, but people with alzheimers often get more disoriented when they are in an unfamiliar environment. She should be better once she gets home
Having a grandfather that had Alzheimer's, (he has since passed ), I know how hard it is to watch. Seeing someone you love deteriorate from that dreadful disease is extremely painful. My grandfather was once the strongest man you would ever know. Caretaker of EVERYONE! Mind as sharp as a tack. Then Alzheimer's set in, and it was a slow decline from there until he didn't even recognize us anymore.
I will pray for your Grandma, and please FM me if you'd like to talk.
