Looking to the weekend

This weekend looks like it could end up being quite hectic. My grandmother has been in CT visiting my parents and checking out places for assisted living this last week, and while she was there ended up in the hospital with congestive heart failure again.

She has some pretty severe heart problems and the doctors are saying that she only has a year or two left to live. Basicly she'll be able to keep going on as she has been, but one of these days she'll end up in the hospital like this last week and not come out of it. Most of this I've known since around Thanksgiving, but the uncertainty is what makes it more stressful.

The good side of this is that she is now in CT to stay. The doctor does not want her travelling back to Virginia at all. This makes getting her into assisted living a bit easier (because she has not been thrilled with the idea). I think it really will be better for her if she doesn't have to worry about keeping a whole house together.

As a result of all this I'm probably going to go down to CT on Sunday if my uncle comes into town. I know he's trying to find a way to get out here and I hope he makes it. There's also a possibility that he'll be bringing my cousin who I haven't seen in years.

On the more fun side of things I'm hoping to see Spiderman tomorrow and then the Escaflowne movie on Saturday. Both are things I've been anxiously awaiting. And I have Friday off, which lets me get done all the crap I've put off for the last week.
