This week has began terribly for me and my entire family. My grandmother, who we knew was going downhill, passed away early Monday morning. That was awful, but at least we all knew it was coming and got our chance to say goodbye on Sunday night. I was there knowing I would never see her again and that she was donating her body to Science. After that, my oldest sister is now in the ICU on a ventilator due to suspected overdose mixed with ketamine that she’s prescribed and infused at a hospital.
I told my grandmother that I loved her and that it was ok to go. I didn’t want her in pain anymore, but that was a shared sentiment among the entire family and her close high school friends that stopped by that night. I wish I had spent more time talking to her the last couple months, but I hope she heard me talk to her before she left.
My oldest sister and me never had much of a relationship and that always bothered me, but she might not come out of this. I haven’t heard yet if she had the ventilator removed successfully without problems yet, but last I heard she was having seizures and they weren’t able to scan her brain properly due to those. I assume no news means nothing awful has happened that made it much worse than it is. I hope to get the chance to repair that relationship if she wakes up from this.
