And the hits just keep on coming

Have you ever gotten to the point when you're so tired you just want to sleep for a month?  I'm officially there.

My brother called first thing this morning with the news "Nana's on her way to the hospital".  Ugh.... Of course this happens when my father is on vacation and I'm the only one handle it.  But here's the best part.  This woman is soooo damn stubborn.

She woke up with chest pains at 7 am.  So she took a nitro (we're becoming pro's at managing her heart) and waited.  Made a cup of coffee.  Still had chest pains.  Took another nitro.  Made herself some toast.  Took yet a THIRD nitro pill.  Notice how I haven't said "Called her granddaughter"?

Finally, when she couldn't breathe, she decided to call 911. (Still no call to her granddaughter....)  It is now almost 10 A.M.

Then my brother gets a phone call from his friend who has a scanner. "Do you know where your grandmother is?"  Um....At home???   Apparently he heard on the scanner my grandmothers address and called my brother. 


So I get in the car and drive the hour to the hospital.  Once I knew she was all right for the moment, I asked her, when were you planning on calling us?  Oh, I didn't want to bother you....

Really???  Really??  Didn't want to BOTHER US??  UGH!!  She's so damn stubborn it drives me crazy!  My father is listed as her emergency contact at the hospital.  One problem.  He's on a damn cruise ship and can't get calls.

I am SO.Tired.
