The week from hell...
 

In rare posting form for me... I have some bitching to do.

This week has been the week from hell.

My grandparents (practically parents since they raised me the better part of my younger years) Have both simultaneously taken drastic turns for the worst.

Oma (grandma) was scheduled for a routine surgery on her hip about week and half two weeks back now, and the night before her surgery fell in her room, giving herself a concussion, as well as damaging her good hip in the process. Her scheduled surgery had to be pushed back, rescheduled along with extra procedures for the new damage, as well as everyone freaking out with concerns from head trauma and anasthesia for surgery. End of the day, she came through surgery fine, and now few days post... her insurance is pulling rehab because of her age, and other conditions (Parkenson's and slight Alzeihmers) stating that rehab will be of no use to her. Add to this the fact that her assisted living care center has given us notice that they cannot accomodate her new care needs, and she will need to find new residence by this Tuesday when she is released from the hospital.

Opa (grandpa) for the short 23 years of my life has been my rock. He gave me my most treasured memories and lessons throughout life, educated me in business, grilled me in manorisms and honor, and led me through fire to discover the fruits of hard labor. Sadly he communicated to me for the first time this week his will to expire. While understanding of this, he's lived a full, rich, and very long life... it's a very trying thing to physically witness the breaking of a man you hold to be wiser and stronger than any. His wits, the one thing he was never without in life slowly escape him... His body fails, and there is nothing I can do but stand at his side, and let him know Munki (he first gave me the name at 3 years old) will make him proud.

Sorry for the rant guys... been a very trying week for me with the grandparents, and other family issues all coming down on me at once.

:2 cents: Leave a sacred moment to whatever deity you hold dear for my grandparents, and tell your family young and old how much they mean to you for me.:2 cents:

Damn..I thought I had a bad week.. :(

everyone has good times and bad times... it'll get better man

Only gets better from here..... sorry to hear about the probs

Sigh... Things happen...

I hope it gets better for you and you will share many more experiences with them.

Thanks for the kind words guys...

Oma is doing much better, got all of her things moved into a much nicer place, more personalized attention... Onsite physical therapy and specific care for her exact conditions... couldn't be happier with her new facility.

Opa got into a new therapist after some more inquiry from the family and me, and is doing much better already. A few of the drugs for other problems we're interacting, coupled with dramatic changes recently in his lifestyle pressed him to an unnatural depression level. Few changes in meds, and a therapist he feels much more comfortable with, and things are greatly looking up for him. That is a huge load off.

In much happier news, my lil' bro graduated hs yesterday. Got to hang out with him for a few days, take him out celebrating.

The week from hell gaveway unto a pretty memorable and happy week.

i am sorry to hear about your bad news, i hope it all works out for you.

Hope everything turn out well for you, good luck.

You know you can hit me up whenever if you need to vent :thumbsup

Damn, sorry about that.. Anyway, have a nice week ahead!

Grrrrr..... Oma took another turn for the first, been spending all of my time with her this week.

I'm officially behind on everything, and pissed off at the world, not a good combination.

I'm out of touch probably till at least next week... If I am working on something with you... Ill be back in touch as soon as possible.

Opa... Oma... are they Dutch?
