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.

Sending good thoughts to your grandmother.
DS, you are forever in my heart. Thank you for sharing your beautiful spirit with me. I will always try to live by the example you have set. I love you and miss you every day and am sorry you had to go so soon, it just doesn't seem fair.

No one changes unless they want to. Not if you beg them. Not if you shame them. Not if you use reason, emotion, or tough love. There is only one thing that makes someone change: their own realization that they need to.

Good thoughts and prayers for your grandma. She sounds a lot like my dear grandfather. He made it to 93, still feisty and loving.
Age: 64..ummmmmmm, no...............65....no...oh, hell born in 1947. You figure it out!
