and im crying my eyes out. i just had a conversation with her that honestly, made my heart break.

she has been in and out of the hospital for her heart - she got a pacemaker put in a few weeks ago and ive talked to her a couple times a week since just checking up on her -- tonight when i talked to her, she told me the whole story about the pacemaker asking "well, didnt you know i went to the hosptial?" .... yes, gram. i did. Huh? not good.

she is 87 and i dont want to thing about bad things.. but how can you not??

    Is she on any meds that might cause her to forget? I'm so sorry. My Grandma had Alzheimers and it was a heartbreaking thing to go through. She thought I was my mom, pinched and got lost all the time. I hope it's just meds or recovery or something.

    Aw, I'm sorry to hear that Sad

    My grandfather had alzheimers and dymensia for years. He finally passed away last month. So, I know how difficult it can be. I'll be sending prayers for your family your way.

    My granny has Alzheimers. It's such a difficult, painful thing to watch.

    Mine too, sometimes she thinks she's 30.  It's wild, but she's sure happy.

     

    I'm so sorry your going through this.

    My Grandpa had the beginning stages of Dementia right before he died.  It was so sad.

    I'm so sorry Eko. 

    Love you friend!

    My grandpa is in the beginning stages of alzheimer's.  It's so hard when they're in the beginning because they still are aware, and they know that they're starting to lose it.

    My grandpa called my mom once because he couldn't get this number to dial right... it turns out that he had been dialing the page number of the phone book, instead of the actual phone number.  It's scary. 

     

    I'm sure it's just the meds for your granny... and the fact that she's getting over surgery.  Don't lose hope.  I think watching people grow older is harder than actual growing older yourself.
