Nana was rushed to theatre this morning after a particular bad night .. they are working on the hernia around the colostomy site .. and hoping this will relieve some of the pain .. urrggghhh ..
Fingers crossed that everything goes well ..
Keeping calm 
Hopefully hubby will be home by lunch-time and I can go for a walk to clear my head
I am very lucky to have all of my grandparents - Pop (nana's husband) is 87 .. and loving life and has had second wind after being unwell last year .. moving to the rest home has been the best thing ever for him as he is really social .. and strolls around visiting and chatting to whoever he can
My grandad on my Dad's side just had his 94 birthday (along with Belly dancers visiting him at the home as a surprise ..lol) .. and since his twin passed away .. and other things last year with his health .. has been fading away .. but he is sooo lovely to visit .. and of course his eyes sparkle every time he sees the boys ... but he has onset dementia and it is hard to understand him .. and he gets so frustrated when trying to get things out .. so a lot of the time you are guessing and filling in the gaps ..
My Nana (grandad's wife) she is 83 is also in a rest home but in a different town ... for a few reasons .. and is battling skin cancer and diabetes ..
.. so overall quite a long-living bunch ..
.. and I really think it comes down to how they face life .. and their state of mind (if their body doesn't let them down first) .. as to how they cope with themselves getting old ..
