Grammy fall O_O
My grandmother (grammy) practically raised me growing up. She was always there after my parents divorced, so she's like a second mother to me (even though my mom and dad were around and attentive). Adam and I lived with her for five years after our marriage before we got our own place.
She has been living with Adam and me for about a month now. We've been keeping an eye on her, making sure she's eating right, etc. So yesterday, she and I were out doing a couple errands and while we were at the post office she passed out and fell on the hard concrete there. We had to go to the emergency room and were at the hospital from three in the afternoon until nine-thirty at night, then this morning from eight to one waiting to hear from the doctor. Late this evening she was released and we got her home. Luckily she has no fractures or breaks, but she has severe back pain from the fall. They think she might have passed out because of either the heat and being a bit dehydrated or from the Arecept (for her memory loss), so they're taking her off that med just to be sure. I just hope she heals fast because she's in so much pain right now she cries when she tries to get up and walk. She has to put most of her weight on me to get her from here to there.
