For those of you who pray, I'd like to request prayers for my grandmother, Eleanore - she's nearly 88 and has been living with congestive heart failure for a couple of years.  It got bad in December and we thought we'd lose her - I'm so glad I got to see her then!  (She lives 1,500 miles away from me...)  But she rallied and pulled through.

Now she fell and broke her hip and had to have emergency surgery with a metal plate & screws put in.  She's so very frail... and she had a "mild" heart attack during surgery.  Still she came through, though she is in a lot of pain, even with the morphine.  It just kills me that she's suffering.  I don't know how long she can go on like this, and while I don't want her to suffer, I am selfish and don't want to lose her either. 

So if you are inclined to pray, in any fashion, I would thank you for praying for my grandma!

Namaste,

Thank you, BG - I think you're absolutely right.  This is my last living grandparent, and the one I was always closest to, so... I know you understand!

Interesting - I also have pics of my grandparents over my bed, and I swear I sometimes feel the presence of my paternal grandmother, who passed on several years ago.

I think we must always treasure one another, because we never know what tomorrow will bring!

Bless you for your kind words - they comfort me!

Thank you, Down Dog (interesting handle - I'm guessing you just like that pose?! )

I just spoke to her on the phone & she's doing pretty well, all things considered - leaving the hospital tomorrow to go back to the nursing home, though she will need a lot of physical therapy to be able to walk again.

I appreciate all your kind thoughts & prayers!

Namaste,
