Good and Really Bad
13 years ago
General
My "surgery" went fine (feels silly calling dental work that). I'll be sneezing and coughing a bit if blood for a day or so. I got 7 fillings. Other than the front top 6 teeth, my others are fine. My throat was sore when I woke up from the tube they stuck in my nose, but now its just scratchy from my cold. I'm very sleepy, mom says I'll probably sleep most of tomorrow. I finally got to eat, I had mashed potatoes and fried crappies (fish). I had to stop from eating too much more so due to the sedative they put in me might slow down the internal plumbing so overeating wouldn't be good.
When I got home I had to face some bad news. Nanny (dad's mom) died while I was at the hospital. She woke from her coma a few days ago, but today she had a heart attack. I suppose in some ways it's a blessing, as she had extreme limited mobilty and would have to learn to move again. She wouldn't want to live confined to a bed. She wasn't expected to come out of that coma as she was dependant on the ventilator. About 5 years ago she was told she had a year to live. She's outlasted her expiration date and her husband, so it's unfair for me to complain.
Mostly I worry about my father. He doesn't deal with loss well. He dwells on negative thoughts and self pity. Also her house and posessions were left to her other son. Dad and his brother don't get along, but it seems my uncle is trying to be nice. Perhaps now that the cause of their feuding is gone (their mother) they will come to their senses. I've always compared them to Inuyasha and Sesshomaru, one jealous of what a dead relative willed to the other. XP
I don't feel the loss yet. Probably a combination of being ready for it from her coma, being calm from
seditaves, not being somewhere I see her every day, and having already lost both grandfathers. That's 3 grandparents within 6 months. I'm sure it'll hit me later. It always does eventually.
