Almost a year and a half now since my grandmother had a stroke. She is in a horrible state. Started saying weird things, doesn't get up from her bed anymore, everything seems impossible for her. She's in her 70, not even that old to say she is degrading because of old age.
A few days ago she woke up my grandfather saying to take the pan off the stove because the food is burning in the middle of the night. She's also said some weird things to us over the phone. We don't live in the same country as they do at the moment, which complicates things a thousand times more. My grandfather obviously won't be able to keep up for long, mentally and physically. She is on medication, used to do some exercises as well. She's overweight which doesn't help either of them. Since last week she won't walk. Can't stand up by herself. It's unreal to see her in such a state.
I believe, for me, there's not a lot that I can do. If there is anything, as little and insignificant that is that I could possibly do to help her, I could not be happier. Maybe send her energy? Or, I don't know, anything. Anything would mean everything for us now. I'm not doing to well myself at the moment, but I will give away the last bit of my energy out to her. To keep her on her legs at least until we get to see her, one more time.
