Being at the nursing home was tuff.. For a second.. I wanted to cry.. because the realization at how dependent my Grandma was on others and how aging wears on the body and knowing that I would never see her in her house was a bit depressing. But it's something that I need to get to grips with. And you might be thinking that I've never seen this process in life. Very not true. I watched my mom's mother go through the process as she lived with us. And I was in the room and watched her die. So death isn't a stranger. But I'll admit no matter the number of funerals or death or aging you've seen. I don't think it's something you ever just shrug off. My Great Grandma Pry is 90 years old and I'm happy to say that she's had a good many years without having to be placed in a nursing home. My parents offered for her to move 3 1/2 hours and live with them so my parents could take care of her. But I know that the change would be so devestating. So now she's in a nursing home. She's soooo tiny. And she hardly eats. But the one positive thing is that she can now attend church. For the past year or two due to her health and all the pain she hasn't been with her "family". The church. And now she can attend the church services at the home. She doesn't have her own room. But she'll make friends and she's got nurses watching after her and helping her about. So I know that God has placed her in good hands. So I"m happy that I got to see her. And I look forward to the next visit. And I spent the rest of the evening with my baby. I was a bad girl and didn't get to lab. So I'm going to lab all day tomorrow. But tonight I'm going to just be rereading all my lab stuff and memorizing insertions and functions of different things. So wish me luck.. I have a lab exam on Monday. Then after this there will only be four more test for this class left to go. We will have completed three after Monday. Seems like we haven't gotten half way through the class with that number of tests. But it's true. Oh well.
