Heart Ache

My grandma is 89 and she recently fell and broke her arm.  She is so mad at her self right now because she knows she was doing so good taking care of herself and now she has been in the hospital for a week and now in a care facility until she can take care of herself again.

So my sister and I went to visit with her and she looked so sad.  She is still mad at herself and in a lot of pain.  She was finally able to stand up for 15 straight minutes so that was very exciting.  She told us how someone was supposed to bring her some clothes because she had been wearing her gown for over a week with only sponge baths.  She also told us how she gives her newspaper to others because she doesn't have her magnifine glass to read it.  She said she doesn't know what day it is either because she doesn't have a calendar.

So my sister and I decided we would see what we could do to get her those things.  We made phone call after phone call and nothing.  We couldn't get ppl to call us back, we left messages and sent text messages.  Finally I got a hold of my dad and of course the call ends with crying.  He says that his sister is the one who is handling all that.  So I told him to put his foot down and tell her to let other ppl help.  He said he won't do that because he wants to keep communication open.  If he tells ppl what to do they won't talk to him anymore.  UGH!!!

My grandma is in a place she doesn't want to be and all she wants are clothes, a magnifine glass and a calendar!! Why is it such a big deal to make her feel happy.  Make her feel comfortable in a place she doesn't want to be in and WHY does my aunt have to be so STUPID AND CRAZY!!!!!

UGH!!!

So we are in the process of putting our house on the market.  We have never done this before and lets just say, I am ready to just not do it and finish our basement.  The stress that I have felt since starting all this is starting to get overwhelming.

When we started our list of things that needed to be done, it didn't seem like a whole lot.  Now that we have started and time is going by, it's a big never ending list. 

We just finished our front yard which makes our house look like a brand new house and I love it!!!  But will it work for others?  We shall see.

We leave for Canada in 2 weeks and we need the house on the market before we leave.  This means we have a TON of stuff to get done in the next week to make sure it's on the market and ready to do.

I will say, the next time I try to sell a house, I'm gonna pay someone else to do all this work.
