    Nan

    DPs nan Is 89, lives in her own home with FIL living in a bungalo out back.
    Fir some time now I've had a 'feeling' she will pass before turning 90 and that it will be on or around DD1s birthday.
    This morning I spoke with FIL and nan is not well again, he's looking into permanent care, she's vomiting & not able to take her medications
    and now I just can't shake that feeling of dread.

    She's been up & down for years, this just feels different to me, I feel heavy & almost sick.
    Please just tell me it's my mind playing tricks.

    DP's nan was hospitalised on teh 1st but we only found out yesterday.
    They are saying it's not 'life threatening' but they have to sort out some of her tablets and things to try and get her back on track.
    I still can't shake the feeling that she wont be here much longer, even though everyone says this is fine, just normal, i honestly don't think she will allow herself into permanent care.

    Thank You everyone for your kind words.

    Nan is loosing her independance and i honestly think it will kill her, she WILL NOT be coming home to her own home, she is being moved to a nursing home
    We are vtaking the girls to see her friday for Miss A's birthday (not 100% on nursing home or hosp yet) so hopefully she is all well and good for a visit.

    ZF. This sounds very similar to how my grandmother was before she died. She went on like this for over a year though.

    I hope your Nan has a few more years in her.

    Thanks ladies.. sure sure Netix.

    She hasn't been herself for a while now (although at 89 not sure i'd be so good either) and has been living in her own home until now, i honestly think though once she's in a home she will give up.
    She hated going to them for respite let alone have to live in one permenantly, am hoping it's not the case but if it ends her suffering then i guess what needs to be will be.
    We were hoping for her to atleast make 90 next year but i guess thats a little selfish, every minute with her is a blessing... let's hope we get quite a few more.

    You mean like right here... next to me.. saying hello.. watching me, watching you, watching me, watching her.

    Have you ever noticed watching doesn't look right when you type it over and over again!

    Honestly though, thank you lovely ladies (and stalkers) it means a lot.
