hi,
 
I don't really know anything new on my grandfather, they were to transfer him to Geisinger medical center yesterday where his heart specialist is located and as of 9:30 last night, they still had not done so. My grandmother and mother sat at the hospital all day yesterday from 8:30 in the morning until 9:30 last evening.
 
My grandfather was extremely disoriented and was still refusing to eat. He is not making much sense at all honestly and the nurses were contacting his doctor last evening to see if they would be able to give him something to calm him down. He was extremely fidgety and combative at times. If you ask him "are you hot", he says yes...if you ask him if he's cold, he says yes. It's like he has no mind of his own at the moment, which isn't my grandfather at all. He kept telling my mother to "get in the car, we're leaving" and would throw the blankets off of himself and try to get out of bed....(big sigh)
 
I have NO IDEA really WHEN he is being transferred, I just hope and pray it's SOON, like today!  He needs where his heart specialist  is....So, it was a long and exhausting day yesterday for everyone and today proves to be another one.
 
I am taking care of my Uncle who had his stroke in February, along with my mother's house full of animals. My plate is full, too full and I don't know how long I can keep this up. I would love to just lay down and sleep today. I feel very guilty, I did not go visit my grandfather yesterday because we all thought he was being transferred, now since he wasn't transferred, I could have gone to visit. Such a roller coaster.
 
Thanks, I know this was off topic, yet again..I just had to "talk to someone"..I'll keep you posted. Hattie and I are off for our morning walk. The humidity is to soar the next two days as well as a storm system is to roll in here, which means my MM will be all in a twitter..joy joy!
 
I hope you all are well....
 
Jen, Hattie and Kitties
