Hey all.. I thought I'd say hello and explain why I haven't been on as much these last few weeks.
I also kinda wanted to just.. talk because I don't have that irl right now.
I .. this is also a Lot. So feel free to not read if it's too much.
family health
So, where to even start?
Years ago, my uncle moved in with my grandparents to keep an eye on them in their older age (I guess?). Now my grandfather has passed almost ten years ago.
My uncle has been on dialysis for the last few years (which my grandpa also was before he passed. I've felt the since sometime early this year that things have felt harder for him lately. Like, I think he needs some sort of therapy about his mental health regarding his physical health (if that makes sense). At this point, he's got a handful of different doctors for various things. We hate his primary one (because he Literally said things along the lines of not caring if my uncle lives much longer), but my uncle likes him for some reason and refuses to change. He's on around 15 different medications (with various rules to them).
As for my grandmother, she has done her best to let my uncle be an adult and take care of himself, and let him take care of her in little ways like he wants to. She has gotten hard of hearing in recent years (and we Finally got her some hearing aids, but her Wearing them all the time is ..eeh). She's on a few different medicines as well. One of which, my parents did some research into and found a side effect can be some brain issues. Of which she started showing signs of, but by then she was in far enough that it's Very hard to get her to make good decisions sometimes regarding her health (and getting a different medicine).
Neither of them have a POA (I don't think. My uncle doesn't anyway). They have Both been to the hospital for various reasons, multiple times over the last year or two. And did I mention I come from a very stubborn family? (very loving, but also Very stubborn in some things.)
Right now, my grandma has has a couple strokes in the last month. We finally got her out of the hospital and into skilled nursing. But she's not eating. Her mental health has declined in a way that makes me think depression. She had been in that house, with no hobbies anymore because she either doesn't like it or had been told not to do certain things for her safety. So she had done nothing really but watch the news. Now she doesn't want to stay here any longer. Her health is still good enough that that's going to be a long, painful process via just not eating. I feel it's the depression of loneliness from missing my grandpa. We had people visiting her every week, and my aunt lives across the street and was seeing her almost daily. I've felt that depression of just feeling too tired to eat. It's a hard place. It helped having those living with me be encouraging (in their own familial way).
Which my uncle was, kinda. One of the medicines he's on also messes with mental health and makes you not think straight. He had been trying to help, I think in his own way. But we had told him multiple times her diet is different and she should/shouldn't have certain things. Well, he doesn't care about his diet and continuously didn't eat right for himself. So he would do things like 'we don't have to listen to them' and offer my grandma some milk. You'd think that would be fine. But this guy takes like eight showers a day because his skin is itchy. He forgets what time it is with a clock in front of him. All this milk he was giving her in 'taking care of her' led her to being in the hospital with a clot in her neck and doctors saying she had too much calcium in her brain.
To attempt to summarize, they both care about the other. They think they have to take care of the other in some way. (grandma's in keeping an eye on him) And they both are stubborn people that want to make their own health decisions. And that's killing them.
If we can't find a solution for my uncle soon (hopefully we do), the state will take over his medical and neither he nor us will be able to get him into actually good and helpful places.
This is but a bit of the iceberg that is my family's health atm with two of my aunt's having heart issues, one of them sorta hating the sick uncle, my parents trying their best to help people and convince them to be healthy and Alive and my dad worried he's about to lose both his mom and his best friend and only brother.
Where am I in all this? Well, I had not visited as often as I wanted because.. well now they seem like excuses. I wasn't certain my car would make it that far (it has died that route before). They don't listen to me anyway because I'm one of the younger ones in the family. Etc. etc. Thankfully, I'm able to get to grandma now that she's in my city, but she doesn't listen to me about eating either, so.
I'm heartbroken about the state of my family right now. But I also feel almost numb in some ways. I've gone through so many deaths, been to so many funerals (my mom came from a large, extended family and my dad's family is big too). I don't want it to happen, it hurts. I want to see my grandma make it to her 90 birthday in a couple weeks. And I don't know if she will. I don't know.. if this Christmas will just be a sad, cold day for us instead of joyful. I try to support my family in ways to cheer them up and encourage, but I only have so much cheer. I don't like seeing them hurt. So I pray, and that's all I Can do, I feel.

What???? No way I am going to put a medical alert wrist monitor on you that screams, "Duane is down and I am calling 911 I dont care that he says his fine." I hope your neighbor calls every hour on the hour, and if you dont answer he comes running!!!
