Decisions...

Over the next few days some tough decisions will have to be made.  Grandpa is getting out of hand.  He is becoming mean and violent.  He almost socked grandma one good today.  She's upset by this, he doesn't even remember it happening.  He gets so angry and in a rage about things.  Some things set him off, then he just flies off the handle.  Grandma is scared to stay alone with him.  The Sisters have issues staying every night of the week, Grandma isn't sure insurance will cover nursing home, so we don't know what the options are yet until we make some phone calls over the next few days.  It's so sad to think he will be put in a home.  He doesn't know where he is anyhow, but at least we can all pop in there all the time.  When he goes to a home it's so final.  He would be so ashamed of the man he's become today.  He would be so embarrassed.  My heart breaks for grandma.  She is losing someone she's spent her whole life with.  She's always had him around.  I am not sure how she's going to handle making it on her own.  She's not the "alone" type.  I don't think she will be able to stand it.  Not having someone to take care of will put her in an early grave I'm afraid. 

Brody has been a bear.  He's running a low grade temp daily.  I'm pretty sure he's teething because he keeps hitting himself in the mouth and gnawing on his own arm all the time.  He chews on everything, but hasn't been eating well.  He drinks a lot of milk, but not eating regular meals like normal.  He's mean spirited and throwing fits all the time.  It's so frustrating because all I can do it tyelnol and motrin.  Hopefully some teeth appear soon.

Still no word on Bill's lump.  Jeff was out of the office on Friday so I hope we will hear something tomorrow.  I am nervous.  I can't imagine what Bill is feeling.  He's brushing it off, but I can tell he's thinking.  about it at times. 

I came home today and got my kitchen cleaned.  It feels good to get it together.  I am so tired.  I could sleep for weeks, I swear.  Well I have to get the burgers cooked for supper and baths for school tomorrow.  It is Sunday night and tomorrow morning will be here all too soon.
