This family weekend has not gone as planned
Like
At all
Here's the situation
Yesterday the plan was t go for a walk around the lake(my mom, both my aunts and grandmother)
I came with and hopped off he trip at the rental house because it's real fun over there and we play blackjack with my uncle which is fun
And then the plan was swimming at one
So a relaxed day
Anyways about an hour later my uncle has to go pick up my aunt(his wife)
Nobody thought much of it until my other aunt came back and she announced that my grandmother fell during the walk, like two houses away from my own
Then on everything has just been not good
Don't get me wrong, it was unfortunate but we were very lucky
Most elderly people who fall, they fall on stairs or on wood surfaces and break their hip and can't walk
My grandmother fractured her shoulder
Like the ball connecting her humorous or whatever
So she's in a sling and can't use her right hand which isn't great backseat that's her preferred hand
And she scrapped her knee pretty bad so it hurts to walk, but she still can
And it's tough standing and sitting so everyone is hovering her when she moves
And she bruised her face but she says that doesn't bother her
The toughest thing is nighttime, aka now
She doesn't like sleeping on her back
She's very antsy because she can't roll around like usual
In addition her sling isn't all that great either
And it has to be propped on a pillow so that's bothersome
And she can't really move because she just can't
It hurts to move and it's tough for her to do anything
So I don't know how she'll manage by herself
Luckily she doesn't have a dog to worry about walking anymore (unfortunately it passed a few months back. He was very sick and had a tumor in his nose so he was constantly bleeding everywhere making it look like somebody died)
so that's ok
Luckily my aunts are nurses so they know what to do
And they live nearby Incase she need help
It just messed everything up
It was supposed to be her weekend and it seems whenever my mom plans anything, she gets hurt or my grandfather did
One time we went to Disney and my grandfather had a heart attack
(he was ok but he passed in 2016 due to kidney failures I think)
So it really just makes everyone so cautious and not wanting to overload her but always by her side and ready to help her stand up
Which my grandmother gets very annoyed at
She really wants to prove she can sit and stand by herself but sometimes she needs help which is unfortunate
But the good thing is, it wasn't her hip so she will be able to walk once her knee heals up
It's a little scrapped but it'll be ok
I just hate seeing her like this
She needs help with everything and has trouble eating with a fork
It's like watching a toddler
Always making sure she doesn't fall again and making sure she can get up
And keeping her up to stuff
Like playing cards or just talking so she's not just sitting there on her birthday weekend
I feel so bad and I wish I was there
They (the walkers) said she sat in the street for twenty minutes
A couple did stop and ask if they needed help
That's when my uncle went over
And he picked up my aunt(wife) and my grandmother and drove to urgent care where they got X-rays and such
It's been a very stressful weekend and it's only Saturday
Also I feel like my cousin got drunk tonight because she was laughing more than usual
Oh well
ALSO
My aunts have been giving me alcohol this entire weekend (taste of wine, two different beers and a margarita) and it all tasted horrible
Honestly the wine was dry
The margarita probably had too much tequila
And the beers just tasted off
Also my grandmother didn't like that they were providing me alcohol
They wanted to be the cool aunts
Also my uncle taught me how to play blackjack so haha I can gamble
Man what a weekend
Alcohol, grandmother and blackjack
Very interesting
