A visit with my grandmother

This past Tuesday I made a trip to my hometown for the express purpose of visiting with my grandmother.  I had called to make sure I wouldn't interfere with dinner.  I was able to be there for a little over an hour, and it was such a lovely visit.  She is doing absolutely fabulous!  In fact, the very next day she was reassessed and her care level was dropped to the minimum.

She truly makes me laugh.  She is now on regular ibuprofen and receives a pain patch, but has no other medications.  She laughs about the others who sit around and are so cold and she is in her short and t-shirts (no blood thinners for her!).  She is annoyed by the people who can't remember her name and the fact that it is so quiet at 6:00.  She is such an amazing 90-year-old, and after a rough spring I'm finally feeling pretty positive about her reaching 91!  I'm so grateful for her!
