I am worrying a little about my grandmother

I've been worrying a little about my paternal grandmother.  She turned 87 earlier this month, and is one of the most able-bodied and healthy people I know.  I'm not really worrying about her physically in that regard.  And she lives in a retirement community so I know people are checking on her.

I'm worrying in different ways.  She hasn't communicated as much as she used to, although that might be because I'm so busy and don't respond as much as I should.  There are other things though.  We had a conversation last fall, and by the end of the conversation she seemed a little confused and it didn't go along very well with the beginning of the conversation.  The last two birthdays in our family have been Thomas and Andrew.  She didn't forget to send birthday cards, but she did forget to sign them.  I know that overall she is still doing well, but at her age I just don't want to take anything for granted!
