Probably Not Long...

My gran had just started radiotherapy treatment last week, not to cure, because it is incurable, but to help with her breathing somewhat. She was meant to have another batch to day but last night she went seriously downhill. My aunt and uncle (who live closer to her) took her to hospital and it turns out that one of her lungs has collapsed and she has an infection in the other. She's finding it really hard to catch her breath and it looks like... it looks like she might not have much time left. They are trying to make her comfortable but there's not much they can do. Mum and Dad have gone to the hospital to see her. I can't imagine what Dad is feeling right now, she is his mother. We definitely never expected it to be this fast, it's quite a shock.

You might not want to hear this, might be telling me right now that I shouldn't be using this blog as some kind of diary but it helps. I can send all these thoughts and feelings out into the ether and it feels like someone, anyone, is listening and understanding. Someone to share everything with.
