Oct. 24th, 2001 11:59 amMy grandmother may be dying. She's in the ER.
Pros to seeing her:
Cons to seeing her:
Anyway, my dad will pick me up from work if I want to go, and I'm sure I'd be able to. But I haven't had to deal with this before, and I'm scared.
If only I weren't at work now...
Pros to seeing her:
- Get to say goodbye.
- Get to face death.<
- Seeing me might give her strength.
- Might get off work early.
- Live up to my culture's ideal of not having any regrets.
Cons to seeing her:
- I have to see her hooked up to machines.
- She'd have to be seen hooked up to machines, probably without her wig.
- If she goes now, that's how I'd end up remembering her.
- Her immune system is weak, and I don't remember if I washed behind the ears this morning.
Anyway, my dad will pick me up from work if I want to go, and I'm sure I'd be able to. But I haven't had to deal with this before, and I'm scared.

Oct. 24th, 2001 02:35 pmI walked to Sonic for lunch and called my mom on the cell phone and she said that my grandmother was a bit agitated and probably needs to calm down before taking more visitors. Also, I've had a sore throat since late last night, which is why the immune system thing was such a big deal. She's got pneumonia right now. Heck, so did Bob Hope, and there's no way Bob Hope is going to outlive my grandma!
I'll call again after work...
