So I am heading out to visit relatives this weekend. I am going with my folks. My daughter is going too. So why am I nervous? Because this means that I am leaving my grandfather in the hands of my crazy aunt and looney uncle. Yes, the aunt from England is visiting and the uncle who is becoming a priest is here to see her. To make things even more fun they are going out tonight and leaving my grandfather with a “sitter” cause they have plans. I already know that my uncle believes that my grandfather just needs to be up in his wheelchair more and that will keep him awake and engaged better-it will not. All it will do is make or aggravate sores that he already has. My grandfather is 91 and tired. And my uncle seems to think that the old man is going to live to be 150. Don’t get me wrong, I do not want my grandfather to be going downhill, but I also believe in being realistic. And allowing my grandfather to call the shots. My grandfather has told me that he was getting annoyed at my uncle not understanding and letting him have a say, even if the answer was I don’t want to do this. I mean seriously how much should a man in his 90′s have to go through?
Anyway, I am going to try and have a good time this weekend and not worry too much. There isn’t anything I can do until I get back
