Granny

I'm kind of at the end of my rope right now ... in other words, I don't like a lot of uproar in my life and I have just had about enough of it for the last week. On the one hand, you're dealing with a very caring Granny; and on the other had, you're dealing with a ranting Granny. Sometimes I just need to run off at the mouth.
My youngest daughter called one day last week and her ne'er do well, jackass of an ex-husband was in the hospital. He had a severe stroke and an aneurism and bleeding on his brain and his blood pressure was off the charts. Well, he owes her a shit-load of back child support and now that my grandson is 18 the state is going after his butt hole father. But all of that got set aside, because the fool IS my grandson's father and the neurosurgeon thinks he's going to die - so it's the right thing to do. You put things in perspective and health issues outweigh child support issues. My daughter was advised to call the Red Cross and get her son home. So she did that, and the Red Cross got with the doctors, the hospital, the hospital social worker and the military. Paperwork for Social Security disability payments got started and the military got his leave and transport from Korea to VA taken care of.
Then I get a call from a day shift co-worker called before I went on night shift that our little 96-year-old lady had a bad fall that morning and she was at the ER with her for the duration. Little lady thank God didn't break anything but she's bruised all to hell and in pain. Great.
Next day I have to see another little 96-year of lady, cook dinner for her for the week and give her a good bath for the week. My boss is out of town and she personally takes care of this lady because everybody else refuses to go to this house. Well, I've seen dirty houses before so I told her I would cover for her while she's gone. So ... I've got four burners going on the stove, giving the little lady her bath, the house has NO A/C, the windows are all shut, not a hint of a breeze, I'm sweating like a pig and about to pass out. That house was hotter than the hinges of hell.
And I have to continue my little rant later as I have to leave now to go on my second full shift for the day. I know y'all are just loving this drama and trauma.
