Eredien's Journal

Well, I am still feeling kind of sick as I was last night--like I ate something with lactose in it by accident--and the weather is bad, and my grandmother is back in the hospital again this morning. And my grandfather is now in a long-term Alzheimer's care unit, which is where he probably will be for the rest of his life. It's good that he is getting the care he needs, because we and my grandmother can't do it for him, but it's sad to see my favorite grandparent like that.

But I hope I can get more fox video today.

A fox crossed the road in front of me today when I was driving home from helping out my grandparents. It was so beautiful; I hope I can see it again.

My grandparents are doing ok. My grandmother has been in rehab for a week and is slowly recovering her ability to walk and move without assistance. She's much more hopeful and happy. My grandfather is by turns forgetful and lucid, and got sick overnight last night, but otherwise seems as ok as a 9 year old man can get.

Much of my life the past month has been spent helping them out. I really appreciate your good vibes and if any of you would like to call or email me, I would really appreciate hearing directly from you. It's been tough and I need the support.
