Rough week

Little Grandma has had a rough week.  She doesn't walk now.  She had slowly stopped walking but she hasn't taken any steps since Monday.  When I pick her up out of her wheel chair to put her to bed she doesn't even try to take steps.  She isn't able to stand up & change clothes, she has to be changed while laying in bed.

Tuesday night when I went out to put her to bed, she was sitting in her wheel chair and was hurting.  I asked her where and she said her shoulders and stomach.  It really scared me when she said that because she is never able to answer that question.  She was bent over saying it's terrible, it's terrible.  So I had the ambulance take her to the emergency room.  When we left the nursing home her bp was 80/50.  Upon arrival at the ER, it was 100/35, that really scared me.  We were there till 12:30 that night.  Her enzymes were elevated and there were changes on her EKG but since they didn't have one to compare it to, they didn't know if the changes were new or from her previous heart attack.  So it looked like a mild heart attack.

Last night when we went out, she was in her wheel chair in the living room, smiling and talking.  The nurses were calling her Queen Comeback.  She was fine until we tried to put her in the bed.  She was crying out in pain because of her leg.  Her left hip is really bothering her.  Hospice will be getting an x-ray done. 

Poor little thing is really hurting right now.  I don't know if she isn't walking because of her leg, or if her leg  caused her heart to act up, or if she hurt it while being transferred into the ambulance.  Hospice did tell me that she is probably getting closer to her time.

Sure is hard to watch her during this time.
