Colorful and hopefully optimistic but maybe hateful occasionally

Yeah, she’s staying here. They’re gonna transfer her to to another hospital for further care but they got her stabilized

And yeah, it was a heart attack. I figured as much, her symptoms were pretty obvious. She didn’t know it was but I did, so I carried her to the car before she was done using the bathroom, lol (she was trying to take a shower — she was in shock but convinced she had just smehow twisted her back) She’s good for now
 
They’re keeping her in critical care until Thursday.

She’s extremely lucky to be alive, based on what they showed me of her heart. Had a heart attack happening for two weeks. By the time I found her in the bathroom on Sunday she was in shock. I practically carried her to the car right afterward
 
I’m good, by the way. So exhausted from Sunday that I had a lot of trouble trying to exist the next day. Which was Monday, yesterday. I woke up at 11am by alarm but couldn’t even move until 3pm. Was not functional until 5pm, and then still my brain was so bleh that when my dog refused to use the bathroom, I lost my temper after only ten minutes (if you don’t have a dog, just know that dogs usually need an average of ten minutes of walking before they go, sort of, long story short). So obviously Nestle got nervous and could no longer go. Then I spent hours being exhausted and confused and didn’t make it to see my mom until 7pm. She was exhausted too so she wouldn’t have known of my family hadn’t mentioned it to her.

My body was (is) also very sore from getting to through a house (with clutter), down stairs, and into a car. She was not fully aware of her legs so I was doing the work for them because if I waited for her to be able to take steps it would have taken a very long time.

I stayed up for an entire day afterward and had only been asleep for four hours beforehand, so my brain became mush. It makes sense. But I was frustrated anyway.

On the bright side, my dog behaved very, very, very, very well. I’m usually very lenient with her but through this whole endeavor, the only thing I’ve gotten mad about is that she won’t poop and I’m afraid she’ll have an accident. I will have to ask a trainer what to do about that, I suppose? I’ll worry about it some other time though. I’m just impressed she could do anything perfectly with how lenient I’ve been with her
 
Also tomorrow my friend Scottie wants to come over (yes, I asked for help, I’m cool ? ) and help me clear out my little brother’s old room so I can put my mom closer to me and close to the bathroom, as well as completely downstairs. There are still stairs to get into the house itself, but I want to limit her stairs while her heart heals. Part of it died so it might take a while to rebuilt strength
 
By “might” I meant it’ll be at least eight weeks. I don’t want her needing to rush down stairs to go to a toilet during that time. A fall wouldn’t exactly help her in any way

This is all completely normal after an event like this. That was a ton of adrenyline that dumped into your system to allow you to do what you needed to do to save her. And yes - you did save her. So now it's time to concentrate on some really good self care - and it may take a few days to recover, Totally normal. :hug:

You did good!

and I'm glad they are going to keep her --- maybe they can talk some sense into her. :hug:
 
Cleaned out my little brother’s room with Scottie. Almost done, doing the rest tomorrow.

Im really disappointed in my grandmother. She picks NOW? To consider kicking her out? I’m so angry at her. This better be some kind of misunderstanding, but she shouldn’t ha get texted it. My sister was probably assuming a lot but whatever. I don’t care right now.

Basically I’ve received confirmation that if I move out my mom will be kicked out. So. Great. I’m not leaving.
 
I’m glad the carpet is ruined now. See her sell the damn house now.

Yes, I realize she’s should. She said as don’t have to rush it. Why bring it up at all?
