I haven't updated in a while because I haven't really been up to it. My cold is basically over but I have a relapse of coughing and stuffed up nose every so often.
Things aren't very good around here right now. My grandmother had another complication while in the nursing home and had to be taken back to the hospital and there is nothing more they can do for her. Her kidneys are failing and everything else is going wrong. They wanted to put her on dialysis but her breathing was not good so they asked my grandfather if they wanted to put her on a ventilator. He wanted to but then the doctors explained to him that it would be putting her through a lot more pain than it would be helping at this point. She isn't responding at all but my brother said that he touched her and she looked at him like she knew he was there. My mom said that she'll be gone at any point now, it could be tonight, tomorrow, a week from now, no one knows. Ironically her blood pressure was up today. It had dropped all the way down to 84/32 or something like that and today it was up to 116/84. I don't remember the exact numbers. The only thing I could even think to say is that she's gonna be her stubborn (some might say strong) self to the very end.
I didn't want to end this on such a bad note so I'll let everyone know that I applied for 2 jobs, one at the new Best Buy that's opening near me and 1 for the Circuit City that just opened. The interview with Best Buy was yesterday morning. They seemed to like me and said that they would keep me on file since all their positions in the CD/Movies/Games section are already filled. And then while I was out with my friend last night, Circuit City called me. That interview is tomorrow at 4. I know it's not what I wanted to be doing after graduating from college but at least it's something...right?
*EDIT at 1:40pm on March 11th*
I didn't want to make a whole new entry right away but I just wanted to add that she passed away this morning around 9:45am. The hospital called and said that she had gone into cardiac arrest and didn't have much longer. My parents, brother, and grandfather made it to the hospital after she had already passed. My parents are making funeral arrangements right now. I'm trying to be strong for everyone. I almost cried right as they were leaving for the hospital but my grandfather came in the house soon after and it forced me to stop.
I also need some advice. I have a friend who I haven't seen in a year who is flying in tomorrow and I was supposed to go with her to Pleasure Island to go dancing. My mom and another friend told me that I should still go because it would be good for me to get my mind off of it but I just don't know how I'll feel dancing when I have a funeral to go to the next day. Tell me what you think.
