The last few weeks have been pretty stressful. The end of my first semester of grad school is quickly approaching, and that means so are the due dates of my major papers. I haven''t been able to concetrate on them much because my grandfather has been in the hospital and now a nursing home for rehab. They won''t release him to my grandmother until she has recovered from the knee surgery she had on Tuesday (which went very well). My grandfather has alzheimer''s and he is not doing well at the nursing home because it makes him very confused. He doesn''t always know his house when he''s home either, but it''s definitely more familiar than the nursing home.
It''s just been so hard lately, and sometimes I cry because I miss my grandfather. He usually doesn''t know who we are anymore; only on his best days. We used to be very close so it breaks my heart. I am hoping that he is able to get out of the nursing home before Christmas because it was bad enough that he wasn''t home for Thanksgiving. This is also the first holiday season without my other grandfather who passed away in February.
I''m trying to stay as positive as I can and I hope that things are better by Christmas. Please sprinke some fairy dust for me and my family.
