Grandfather had a stroke early Tues morning. Right side affected, brain bleeding with a 3 cm hematoma on the back of his head. We're wishing for mercy and not just comfort for the old man. I'm fine, it's just rough for everyone.
My grandmother had passed last November of cancer and he dealt with it like champ. Even though he had previously started losing his mind a couple of years before she was diagnosed with cancer. He's been living in assisted living for the past year.
Right now he's able to "wake up", able to understand, but unable to talk (if/when he does he sounds like ****ing Scooby Doo with his mouth full), able to stand up but unable to walk. He can smile.
And now that he's "pulling through." I can't help but feel frustrated. If he does "live", what the hell does he have to live for? A nursing home where he'll have to be pushed around everywhere and fed by someone else and he can't ****ing tell anyone what he wants and we can't understand him.
I'm pretty much venting because I'm incredibly frustrated. A lot of people (CP members included.) have had family members pass too soon. And as soon as there's someone who is ready to go and should be given mercy...they end up sitting on the bench for way too long.
If anyone talks to God, please remind them that they forgot someone. I would appreciate it
