grandma

I heard this from my stepmother via e-mail earlier this morning:
Your dad just told me that your Grandmother is back in the hospital again. They found her on the floor again this morning. They think that she was there since yesterday. Your grandmother seems ok but doesn't know what happened.

Just now, I heard this:
I just talked to your dad again and Jeannette called back and the hospital called and said that your Grandmother had a big stroke and that she has no movement on her left and her right has a little.

Dad says she can say her name, and squeeze the nurse's finger with her right hand. She had been lying on her floor since last night.

He said that a week ago, she was outside and got on her knees to work on her flowers, and she couldn't get up. She ended up lying on her back. He also says that, though she insists she just couldn't get up, they suspect she had some sort of stroke. She was there for a couple of hours. She had her alert button around her neck, but didn't have the prescence of mind to press it.

My dad got his gallery opened up last weekend. He expected it to several weeks after moving, that he would open. I guess not having a job gave him more free time than he expected. He is still exhausted though. I hope he is going to be taking it easier now.

The new place is much nicer. It's much bigger, but his paintings and prints are more spread out now, so they fill the place nicely.
