My Grandmother had a heart attack. She lives in a small town in Michigan, near the Ohio border. She spent a week in a hospital in Toledo.
How I found out?? She emailed herself when she got back from the hospital.
She has buried her oldest son, my dad, in 2011 and her husband a year later in 2012. This October she turned 90.
She says in her email that she's annoyed at all the poking and prodding done while in the hospital and feels a bit like a pin cushion. She always was a no-nonsense tough as nails business woman... She was the administrator of a small regional hospital in my hometown.
She says she just wants to get back to her routine.
If you can spare a good thought or prayer for my tough old Grandma I sure would appreciate it.
