My Momma LOU

My grandmother,momma Lou, is soon to be 83 years old. She had to have a heart cath done last week. She has slowly started declining. Well actually  faster now than she had been. A few weeks ago she mentioned to her daughters(4) and son (1) that she felt it was time to go into a nursing home or move in with one of them. So they have been talking about it amongst them self's. Well after her heart cath she went to stay a few days with one of my aunts.  My aunt had to go out of the country later in the week so my mom went and got her and brought her here to moms and dads house. Last night my grandma got up and went to the rest room and went back to her bed room and fell. she scooted on her behind to the door and hollered for my mom who jumped up. my mom couldn’t lift her so she had to get my dad to help. They got her back in bed  and settled and I am sure my mom fretted all night over what happened. Luckily no bones seem to be broken and she is ok. She said her back hurt her some today but she feels better and she would let them know if she started hurting any where else. it has been decided that she will not be able to go back home . My mom is taking her to her house to pick up a few things and she will be coming back to mom and dads until the family can decide what is to be done. WE as a family do not want to put her in a nursing home right now so we are looking into assisted living and nurse care to let her have a little privacy. I hate to see this decline but I know it is inevitable, and the process of life. My momma Lou is special to me most grandmas are special to there grandkids. I just don't know what I would do if something happened to her.  She is depressed and she has cried a lot the last few days. She knows that she is now in the latter part of her life and she is weary and tired and hates to be a burden to anyone. i don’t see her as a burden. i see her as a blessing. I am blessed to still have my grandma.
