For the Alliance!

Still no big changes in my grandma's condition. I did go to see her today though (yesterday I did not). She LOOKED a lot better. She was a lot less swollen and they had cleaned her up a bit, got the blood out of her hair and whatnot... I held her hand for a while. I was scared to when I visited her a couple of days ago because I knew she had a lot of broken bones and I didn't want to hurt her at all, but her left arm isn't broken.

Mom has already been approached about taking her off some things (that are helping to keep her alive right now) and I'm really offended by that. She was only hit two days ago... give her TIME. They also approached her about operating on her broken bones to fix them (they are broken too badly to be fixed normally...), but mom doesn't want to put grandma through that just yet... just in case. We are going to wait after the weekend to see what to do about her broken bones.

I am trying my best to be optimistic, but it is difficult. She does seem a bit more aware... but she has not opened her eyes yet or anything. She responds to voices sometimes though... specific voices. I guess there's this one woman she really doesn't like (she thinks that this lady is just waiting for her brother in-law to die so she can have his money, she always talks about moving into "the house" after he dies... she doesn't know my grandma doesn't like her though), and that woman went to visit her yesterday. Every time she spoke to my grandma and every timme she touched her, grandma kind of squirmed and tried to pull away with her arms and legs. Mom thought at the time it was just that the morphine was wearing off. But today the exact same thing happened when that lady came to visit her again today.

The awareness like that goes off and on... probably between when she is actually sleeping or not. But, like I said, she still hasn't opened her eyes. And they haven't been able to do an MRI to see what kind of damage might have been done to her brain (catscans I guess aren't as good as MRIs as finding the bleeding and everything), because she had that thing in her head monitoring the pressure, and it's metal. They are removing that tomorrow... so maybe we will learn some more then.

I cried a little bit when I went to go see her today... it's really hard to see her like that :( But I feel a lot better getting to see her than if I never did...

I guess the man who hit them is the grandfather of someone who is an EMT with my mom :( Their whole family has really been in a wreck... and the man that hit them is taking it really hard. I feel bad for him... it never should have happened but we don't really know what caused it. He said he didn't even see them, and he doesn't really remember the impact now... I hope that my grandma and her friend make it through, for obvious reasons of course!, but also for this man. He really doesn't deserve to be going through this when he's 88 years old. It won't change that they hit him, but it could lessen the weight on his shoulders a bit... The other woman is conscious, but she is no better than my grandma... her hip damage is really bad... people can die from just that, but she has bad head injuries too, so they can't operate yet.

My journal entries have been bundles of joy lately :( I apologize... I just do not have much else on my mind these days.

Some happier stuff... I am going home (to sunderland) tomorrow, Shane is gonna give me a ride home when he's coming back from work. Going to see The Da Vinci Code (which I hear sucks) and come back saturday morning. I played WoW and got my druid on Mannoroth to 49, and did a bunch of frustrating WSG and AB. No one ever supports the flag carriers :| The AB was good actually but only because it was 15 alliance vs. 12 horde and we rolled them. I did a really good uldaman run with Turin's priest, Erin's rogue, Olaine, Ridaya's warrior, and of course my druid. I won an Archaedic Stone of Nature Resistance :P Yay AQ if I ever go.

I feel sick. I hope I'm not coming down with strep throat :( (brenna has it and I babysat her last night.) However, it's probably a bit pessimistic that I have it, since I pretty much kept my distance from Brenna. If I'm getting sick, it's probably mostly stress that's doing it for me.
