Cheering for you as well Vali. You can do it.

Me? I decided to work on an other story right now. :}

I like changing stories occassionally. It stops you from growing frustrated...

*changes cheerleading outfit to change pace* I hope it's working Valfreyja

Hello everyone. I keep forgetting to talk on here for some reason >_< I blame my lazy bum.

I've been running my grandma around and doing errands for her since she fell and broke her hip. And she's paying me for it and she said she'd rather buy me stuff instead of paying me because it would be tax if she wrote me a check (I want to know how much she is paying me if it needs to be taxed!) so I'm trying to figure out what I want because all I want are 3 (or 4 if they release the 3rd version of Fire Emblem: Fates with the first two versions) video games. Maybe I can get her to pay my car payments for awhile >_>

The new fire emblem games look wonderful don't they! I can hardly wait for their release!

I hope your grandma's allright though?

DUDE RIGHT?! I AM SO EXCITED! I don't know which one I want to play first! I'm torn between doing the old school just go with the story or going free style.

She is. It's been 2-3 months now. She can start walking with her cane in her house, but she needs someone to drive her around because she needs to use a walker. She thought that I might have had to spend the night with her at first because she was in the nursing home until a few weeks ago where she had everyone doing everything for me (and she couldn't walk without someone with her), but she gets around alright. She scares me because she has steps in her garage and I pick up her walker and put it on the top/bottom and today she decided to do it herself because I was getting groceries out of the car really quick. I flipped I was like grandma, I can help you. don't be doing that. Because she could have fallen and ugh.

Yeah. Grandma's tend to do that. I'm glad she's still mobile!

A while back my grandmother had fallen. She didn't wanna call anyone and just lay there for the longest while. I got a call from my cousin who'd found her (I live nearby) if I could help pick her up. Luckily from all my cousins I'm one of the strongest girls (brute force wise) so we managed to pick her up, but she just couldn't understand why we were angry when we found out she'd been laying there for so long when we bought her an alarmbracelet so that if something happened like that one of the family could head over as soon as possible. She didn't feel like it was necessary to wear the bracelet... *huffs angrily*
Thank god she's now wearing it, but we always check now if she is, cause she still thinks we're overreacting. She was on the cold floor for 3 hours...
She even refused to head to the hospital afterwards. We eventually had to sic my oldest uncle on her so she'd be forced to go... turns out she had a fracture and a bonebruise from all that... *grumbles* What little mobility she had has seriously dropped now. She's supposed to use her walker everywhere now and she still sometimes leaves it in the kitchen...

Oh man. Grandma's are stubborn!
My grandma has been living on her own since my grandpa died in 2006. She hasn't had no problems not getting around, but she has no clue how to pump gas so we always have to do that for her. My mom got her one of those life alerts and she wears that. She also has a cell phone she NEVER HAS ON. But when she fell she called my mom who was at work so my mom called one of my cousin's who's a nurse. My grandma wanted my cousin to pick her up and take her to a promptcare. Yeah, well my cousin being a nurse was like nope, calling an ambulance, much to my grandma's protest. She's just ready to be done with a walker now. I go back to school at the end of August so hopefully she will graduate to a cane because she already has permission to drive from her doctor. I just don't want to be worrying about her when I go back to school.

That's very understandable.
School's important, but family is too.
I hope she'll be ok by then. It's no fun trying to work if you're worried about family...

My grandmother will be moving to a safer house next month (still in the same street as me and my aunt, but no stairs in the entire house) so we're hoping that'll help her too. We do know she won't recover from that fall anymore. Her bones are too brittle to recover completely. But at least if she keeps up what the doctors prescribed she should be able to recover enough to be able to manage walking a bit further again.

That's the one thing I am not looking forward to when I get old. So many health problems and doctor visits. and one simple fall can take away your mobility. Ugh. Just looking at my family's health history is enough to make me wish I could stay young forever.

My grandpa built the house my grandma is living in. He made it so it was close to the post office and pharmacy and other such things. He made it one story and the doors wide enough for a walker and such. My grandpa knew he didn't have much time left and he didn't want to worry about my grandma's well being after he left.

That's kind of sad, but super sweet at the same time...

Sadly we don't have much left of my grandfather... My sister has his wedding ring and I got the other half of that pair from my grandmother (we both had them altered to look different and suit us more personality wise, but we both kept the original ring in the design)
