Grandma Is Just... Ugh....

She's in the hospital. Again. Kidney failure.

So about a week ago, I went with my grandmother to go look at a nursing home for her. She's going to move in (hopefully) with her husband. Now, on this trip, (my granny's about 65 or so) we were being led around the campus by an 85 year old who was always stopping and talking with his buddies, and the other couple that was looking around with us were in their 80s and they both gardened and stuff but there's my grandma being pushed around in a wheel chair because she's so unhealthy.

This wouldn't really piss me off if it wasn't her fault. She's been chain smoking since she was about 16 (about a pack or two a day) and she's diabetic but doesn't care about what she eats, and she doesn't exercise whatsoever! Her hips and knees are bad, she was in the hospital about a month ago because of really bad clogged arteries (the ones that took blood to her brain!!!) but she still doesn't care about anything that really obstructs her health!

We've tried to help her and she doesn't want it. Now, in a few years, she's probably going to die. She's probably going to keel over before I get out of college!!!! She's not going to see me get married, or have children, or even have my first real job! She's not going to see anything I do and she won't be around to tell me about anything she ever did! All I'll have are a few paintings that she did a while back!

It scares me how fast it's happening.
