Hiya Guys,
Haven't posted for a while & didnt get weighed this week.
I have to say my mind has not been on the diet the past few days as found out on Sunday that my little nana isn't well at all, I think some of you may remember that my little nan was poorly at xmas time but manage to pull through.
I went to see her on Sunday, she normally sits in the TV room with the other residents as she lives in a home.
She was in her room, the doctor had got her a special bed which fills half of her little room, it's like an air bed filled with warm water that vibrates, with white padded sides so she doesnt fall out. She is tiny anyway me nan, under 5ft so you can imagine how small she looks in this huge bed!
Its quite scary as it looks like a bloody coffin!!
She has lost a lot of weight recently, she is under 5 stone now, she looked so pale, her eyes were glazed over, she is basically skin & bone, if she loses anymore weight she will dissappear. Its really sad to see her like she is, She isn't eating or drinking as she cant swallow much, we are just giving her a small amount of water or tea in a syringe for her to swallow. Me nan loves her cups of tea & loves anything sweet like her chocolate, sweets and cakes, but she cant eat anything now, she isnt taking any painkillers as she cant take any by mouth & as far as an injection goes, her skin is so thin & delicate having an injection would tear her skin..
She will be 95 this year so she is doing fab, but to be honest I cant see her making a recovery which breaks my heart to say. She is still talking to us all but keeps drifting in & out of sleep all the time. Its like she is frightened to go into a deep sleep. She has also shouted out for her mam & her brother who both passed away over 30 years ago, its funny how they go back in time, she says all the time "I want to go home" & when you ask her "where do you live" she says "gill street" well thats where they used to live when me big nana was younger so over 55yrs ago..
Its sad to see my big nana upset too as its my little nana's daughter. (we have 5 generations in our family)
She has always had a gob on her me nana & is still not shy in telling us off, I will worry when she does stop telling us off. She used to tell all the other woman to "mind there own bloody business, bugger off" whenever they asked her a question, she has me bad laughing.
I have been trying to spend every spare time with me nana going twice a day as to be honest I dont know how long she has left, every day she seems as thou her features are changing, you go on a night and she is worse, slurring her words so you sometimes cant understand her.
So there you are my life story, I feel a little better after sharing that as I suppose some of you have been in this position at some time or other.
So any 'other' spare time I have I will try & catch up on here, I love to come on minimins at least once a day, I miss so much..
Take Care
Hugs
