Things are pretty chaotic here

Hello!
This journal post has been kind of something I'm hesitant about.
Last October we discovered my great grandma, who I live alone with(I'm basically her care taker,) has lung cancer. We believe it's spread from her throat cancer which we discovered after the fact, and also found out it's in her liver and spine, so chemo is out of the question for her. They believe with her smoking/drinking habits, her age, (84,) it'd be pointless and may even kill her/cause her organs to shut down.
I'm her adopted, 'daughter,' and on that I'm 1/3rd of the will, (except I get the car... even though it's kind of totaled at the moment a bit. Can still drive it, just.. really messed up. Windshield, tires, and hood needing replaced badly)... the idea of having to move to try to find a roommate in Lafeyette Indiana is... well.. it's very scary at the moment, so obviously I don't want her to die, so I'm often taking care of her much like a handicapped kid-- which is very much almost the case. She's got a weak hip/legs so she's prone to falling.
Up until December 9th I will be taking her to Radiation treatment which is a two drive to and from. (Yesterday we had also went to see about a biopsy a doctor asked her to have, and we ended up not having her have it because at this point in time it's pointless.)
So this means I will have a bit of a messy schedule on weekdays until the treatments are over. Watching my grandma's condition hastily get worse this soon-to-be-winter... (Ten years after cancer took her husband, my great grandpa, and father figure) kind of bundles my depression and make me a bit sleepy on top of the back-and-forth driving. Things shouldn't take too long, but it still is a bit tiring.
So I hope that people can be patient with me this month.
Love, and hugs,
Yeefi
