I went and saw her at the hospital today. She's pretty bad. They can't do anything for her legs, there's practically no bone left there. And she's got pneumonia, and apparently went into cardiac arrest last Thursday. They don't think she's ever gonna make it home, if anything (act of God), she'll end up in a managed care facility.
She couldn't even talk to me, could barely open her eyes.
Sometimes I wish that I didn't care for people the way I do... but then... I'd want someone to care for me, and not enough people out there DO care for the elderly.
My boyfriend has been telling me that he doesn't think it was an accident that I was assigned to her just as she would need me most. I think I agree.... it's just so hard....
